Dont really need that much space yet. I having to make sure the right disk is in the right drive.

I can always add a second hard drive. A cd drive might be a little more difficult. But to answer the question No.

Keep in mind i wasnt doing it to cut costs. I bought whatever i thought is would used. The 2nd dvd burner is about a 74 dollar difference. I dont think i will need a second hard drive i have a few externals including buying a network hard drive for my home network.

Also wanted to add that there customer service was excellent. the guy was very helpfull.

My delivery date is feb 10. I cant wait. They said some delays are ending so its slightly possible i get in sooner. So i am hoping. Yeah they tell me the wait wont kill me but i think it might.
