I went to CC last night to look at one, and put down a $20 deposit. While playing with the machine, I noticed that the BIOS reports both a 5V and 12V supply voltage under the CPU frq/volt page. This means there must be a 12V supply in this thing. One should be able to tap into this to power a 3.5" drive. It may not have enough current, but it would be worth a try!!
