    Last I knew HP doesn't include the mounting bracket for the second drive in single-drive configurations. You might be able to rig something up but I don't recall reading any reports from anyone who's done it yet. I advise buying a two-drive configuration from HP if that's what you want... but they don't offer dual 7200RPM drives. Gotcha. Way better drive offerings than with the dv8000z though, grrr. They'd better fix that with the Turion x2.
