AppleTalk Australia, in an attempt to push the Mac mini into a high capacity headless file server, posted a how-to on modding and replacing your mini's slower 40/80GB 2.5-inch notebook drive with off-the-shelf, larger and faster 7200RPM 3.5-inch drives (actually two 250GB RAID 1 configured drives). The only catch... you have to tear apart your mini and place the guts into a PC Mini ATX case (there's no way you're going to fit two large drives back into the mini enclosure, right?).
