    I need more space so since i don't really use my optical drive at all im thinking of taking out the dvd burner and putting in an HDD. I've never done this before so i have no idea how to do it. Also i heard i need a caddy or something. Any tips/guides on how to install an HDD for this laptop? Also if there's any good deals on any HDD's please post them :D.

    pretty straightforward actually :) pretty much any standard 12.7mm caddy will fit. after popping off the back cover theres just one single screw to losen up before u can push out the optical drive. where are u located exactly? i got my caddy from newmode.us, but theyre also available on ebay for not a whole lotta bucks each ;)
