Upgrading the harddrive in the MacBook is a breeze. Pop out the Battery and roll the new hard drive in, which can be any standard laptop HD.

I'm not sure about upgrading the optical drive.

upgrading the optical drive is possible, but it'd void your warranty.

led-zep, the firewire version of this Lacie slim DVD-RW might be worth considering. It's self-powered by the firewire cable, but is slower than a full sized drive.
