Re: Warranty!!?!?!?!?!

I would look into one of the models that have the SSD+HDD combinations
already (i have seen the 32GB SSD for OS or caching) and use that. But i am
looking for something very similar to that (alienware 17 is looking the
most promising) however as i can order it with a spinning drive and add a
pair of m.2 ssds later.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
