    well MSI put up info on their site about their new i7 models. but i cannot seem to find a release date. can anyone tell me a release date. Also I am curious if the GT740 has one or two drive bays. Do you think that the GPU can be replaced with a 260m, or 280m?

    thanks, and hope this has not been asked before
