    My barebone came without an optical disk, where can I find one? I checked RKcomputers and they only have PATA drives for MSI... If I understand correctly due to the cover, regular drives don't fit correctly on MSI notebooks. What do I do?

    for the ms 1651 pretty much any SATA drive will fit. The actual ones cost alot more and fit properly though (as in matches with the shape of the laptop).
