A much cheaper alternative with a similar result would be replacing the internal ATV HD with a cheap Compact Flash card in an IDE-to-CF adaptor. I did not try this in my Apple TV but have succesfully tried this in laptops. What you would need is: - adaptor that plugs in your ATV HD cable and enables plugging in an CF card. Can be had for $10 or so. - A CF card. The ATV operating system requires less then 4G. Would cost you another $10 or so. Such an ATV could be used normally for streaming from an Itunes library on a PC. With the proper hacks playing media from a USB disk attached to the ATV or a NAS have been reported to work. Total of $20 an probably some hours of your life. Who dares? Nice hack if you see it as a “proof of concept”, otherwise it may be a liitle expensive.

That should fix any heat issues... ;) Remove the power supply to an outside ‘brick’, put the hard drive in an external case, and drill some airholes in the top and bottom, and then finally put some .25″ rubber feet under the atv case.

Sounds pretty cool to me, though I would probably wait until the prices come down some on SSD's.
