Plug a 3,5'' HD on a Mac mini Core Duo

One of the Mac minis weakest points is its 2.5'' HD, with noticably slower performance than a 3.5''. It's still possible to partially compensate for this using a fast external HD, yet if output increases, so does latency.
The page http://www.artmac.info displays a daring yet efficient mod of a Mac mini Core duo.


Once the internal drive is dismantled, a SATA connector was put in the machine to plug an external SATA drive.
One can even imagine plugging a SATA port mutliplier (see today's other news) hence transforming the Mac mini into a very efficient server with as many as 5 drives.
Of course, doing such a modifications voids the warranty.
