High res pics of Karma insides, plus hacking

http://www.austinv.com/comment.php?comment.news.116 has a post about some high resolution pics of the insides of the Karma, as well as a comment about a "Rio employee" saying that other small HDs and flash memory will work inside the Karma if you format it in maintenence mode. Pics are here:

Those pics are just plain cool! Thanks for sharing, and once again great job empeg team!

Man.. why is it that the guys who usually do these things are also such lousy photographers? Still, it's cool to see the insides of the Karma (again).

Cheers

I imagine that it's much equipment as skill. I haven't (yet?) figured out a way to get good reference shots of shiny things.

I wonder how much RAM I could get stacked behind that display?!

You can buy or make a sort of inverted shooting blind - basically a white tent between your lights and the shiny object. You poke your camera in through a hole to minimize the amount of it that is reflected in the shiny surface.

For some reason I keep getting this urge to take apart my karma, hook up an 80G drive, and put it, the dock, and a power supply into a small enclosure to make a small home stereo appliance.

Or maybe put it into a car stereo chassis. That'd be great! I wonder why no one has made an mp3 player for the car yet.
