Has anyone here ever substituted the optical drive in their MBPro with an SSD? Did you buy an upgrade kit, a bay? Any problems, did battery life suffer?

As my MBP enters its third year I'm starting to think about either updating or upgrading it (to a new MBP). How long do you guys take between upgrades? It's got a 320M graphics card which is not far behind the current ones, so I could maybe wrangle a couple more years from it with 8GB of memory and an SSD. I'd be missing out on much faster processors (I've got a 2.4GHz C2D) and retina, also integrated graphics may very well jump in quality during 2013. I'm terrible with money, please help me make decisions

I think videogames got the idea in my head. 80% of the time it's loving about on the internet really (it struggles a tiny bit on some bad flash sites like thedailyshow.com). The other 20% is transcoding avi to mp4 for the iThings (which it does fine), Java and ObjC development (no big complaints there either) and, lately, playing Civ V. Civ V gets really slow in the later stages of the game and I guess I would play some more videogames if the computer was powerful enough. I bought CS:GO but had to return it because it was too sluggish to play. And I'd love to play Natural Selection 2 in VMWare if it was possible. Then again it is rather silly to spend $1700 to play a bunch of games worth $30 combined at the moment, isn't it
