Replace laptop DVD drive with video card?

[cycla1007]

Does anyone know of a video card that can be placed in a laptop in the DVD bay? I have a docking station for my Lenovo X-201 tablet PC that has a DVD drive in it. I debated taking it out because I never use it. I thought of replacing it with another hard drive but I would really rather have a graphics card in there. I am not trying to do gaming or anything... I just want to run two monitors when I am using the docking station. I tried using a dongle to split the single VGA output on the docking station but my computer only recognized one screen still. I am running a dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 professional. Thanks in advance!

to my knowledge, the only laptops that support swapping out the DVD drive with a video card are ones that have an "Ultrabay" port. Could be wrong though, but that's how Lenovo's other laptop, the Y500, supports swapping the DVD drive for a second video card.

Thanks Craig. Hopefully they launch the X240t soon and I will just upgrade.
