MBP Superdrive Upgrade

[ViViDboarder]

Hello everyone. I bought my MBP right after they came out, so I am one of the few stuck without Dual Layer. I can live without it, but as any modder I think, "Why live without it?". As soon as my warranty is up I'm going to probably do some heavy work on this laptop and was wondering if there are any known dual-layer burners that will fit in the first gen 15"MBPs.

You might be able to get disassembled Macbook Pros on ebay for parts. People sell them like that when various critical components don't work and they don't feel like fixing it.

I'm wondering if the second gen superdrives will fit at all in the first gen laptop.

I found 50 DL DVD's for 50 bucks on sale at Tigerdirect.com once and capitalized on that. SO I've got plenty. It'd be nice because sometimes I make backups of disks that are DL and I don't like to compress or use my desktop PC.
