    Hey all, i recently ran across the barebones laptops from msi and decided i want one, and since my b-day is comming up this month the old lady gave the go ahead. So i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of an optical drive for this thing, i know what kind of hard drive it and memory to use, but im not sure about the drive, so if you guys could point me in the right direction on where to get one it would be apprieciated.

    Also im thinking of getting a t8100 cpu for $135, is this a good deal? and alternativly if its not where should i look?

    And finally if anyone has a hdd, cpu, or optical drive for sale on the cheap or cheaper than retail hit me up as i would be interested.

    thanks a million guys
