Stock 320GB 5400 is worth almost nothing. I'm keeping mine to use when I install an optibay where the CD/ROM was.

Thanks for the heads up. No point in waiting 2 months when the price isn't gonna go lower than this. Now just to decide if I wanna spend another $100 to get an optibay and external dvd enclosure or just use the stock HDD in an external enclosure and get a 4 port USB hub for a combined $30. leaning more against the optibay route since even though i havent used the optical drive in this MBP more than a handful of times, I used it like crazy in my 2009 white Macbook.

I ordered this $29 optibay on eBay. It's a US seller and if I didn't know any better, it looks exactly like the MCE. If you look at the reviews they're almost all Mac user's and feedback is 100%. MCE is $100 and OWC is 2 weeks out.

Thanks for the suggestion but I decided against the optibay. I didn't see the point in going that route when the HDD in the optibay will probably be idle and powered down 99% of the time. It will get better use as an external HDD. I will just hook the HDD up to the iMac and share any files over the network. My laptop only leaves the house 1 week out of the whole year so its no bother to hook up the external HDD and transfer anything over before I go.
