    • Also, they seem to have the Empeg design philosophy - put lots of pads on the board for things that we have no intention of fitting but others may. For instance, it has one USB port, but there are pads for another one at the front. I wonder if a second Ethernet port could be hacked?

    The IDE is interesting. I wonder what happens if the IDE and drive power cables are replaced with ones that have two drive connectors - does the OS correctly handle master & slave (I can't see why not)? There is only enough space in the box for one drive, though - so a new box would be needed. Pity that either a case mod or bare board isn't available.
