 So i bought this laptop a while back from overseas, its stupidly cheap. It's a Macbook Unibody 2010 Core 2 Duo 13", and added SSD, 8GB RAM, new battery and new charger. It works perfectly for my daily light use and cool to carry this around. And I've been wanting to remove the disc drive and add a second hard disk and do a dual-boot. As this is my first mac, upgrading the RAM and SSD is already a pain in the butt for me, and I've never figured out how to get the disc drive out. Is there any recommended technician out there that can help me switch it to a HDD? I've got all the parts.

It's easy dude just get an opti-bay for your second HDD and it works like a charm. It's not rocket science. 10 minutes of work gets the job done.
