Thanks for sharing!

Interesting take on the keyboard mod, I need to try that. So far my W530 and T430 kb mods were done filing the kb clips, which didn't look so nice due to my not-so-steady hand :-/

Ultrabay connection is Sata 2 or Sata 3?
Is it better to get an msata or an ssd for ultabay for my t430 for winddows and playing games and stuff?
