    I wondered if anyone knows if the DVD-RW drive that was sold with the M6N is compatible with the z70va? The two models appear to have pretty much the same chassis, so it wouldn't be surprising.

    I ask since events have left me with an extra Dothan CPU and some extra memory lying around; I thought I might build an extra system on the cheap and swap the optical drive between them. Since you need the optical drive port for an extra battery or a second hard drive anyway, it's not like you always have the optical drive in your machine. All I'd really need would be the barebones, centrino wireless chip and an additional hard drive.
