Aw hell someone already thought of it. Oh well.

Mine does actually have 2 hdd bays. But, Toshiba decided that I wasn't allowed to use it so they moulded plastic pegs into the cover so that it wouldnt close if there was a drive inside. 1 hacksaw and 30 seconds later... I had a 60GB drive from a PS3 in it for a while but that's on the verge of dying so I got hold of a 160GB that is soon to hold the OS's leaving my original 250GB for storage.

or if your laptops low end get a mini pci video decoder theres one out that lets old netbooks play 720p smoothly

or gps module

I might look into those. My laptop's Radeon HD 3570 is supposedly able to decode HD MPEG-2, H.264 and VC-1 but my old Pentium 4 desktop did a better job with it's onboard graphics. Oh well. Probably some messed up drives somewhere. I'm doing a reinstall soon anyhow. SSD looks interesting but expensive. GPS is also interesting but a pointless for me.
