Sorry but MS screwed themselves with the HDD placement

never thought about this.

well , that is somewhat true with the design as it is now , but since a CABLE can be hooked upto a port on the board going to the hardrive it could be placed on say instead of the top of the unit . it could than be mounted on the side this you could shrink the board down and put the HD connected via cable .

example: had this picture handy

near top left of this picture right next to the motherboard  mounting  post whole is a SATA port for the harddrive that could put on a smaller mobo.

so it's not so much screwed, but having to change thing's arround.
