@Exxos; I like the directions you are taking this, but I have one request while building the New Machines.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE move the frickin joystick/mouse ports out from underneath the keyboard. This is the only pet peeve I have about the ST line.

That is all,

Thank you!

We can't... That is part of the keyboard not not the motherboard..

Just a request how hard would it be to fit a m2 socket and control in the board

Don't know what a m2 socket is? :?: :?: :?: You could connect a Eiffel to the computer keyboard connector and locate it any where you like.

Very hard I would assume, you would need a IDE to PCI type conversion interface for starters.. I doubt anyone is going to build one of those.. Is there really any need anyway ? there is only so much storage you can add into a ST... and it would not be any faster either. If anything it would be slower because of the extra overhead of the interface.

Low speed (1.5Mb/s) SATA would be more appropriate if possible given the system bus bottleneck. Even for that you'd probably need an intelligent "host controller" doing the heavy lifting.

Ah ok they are hand little ssd drives sata interface I think
They are very compact.

Oh, I do know what N.2 socket is.. here's a pic of one of 2 I have in my other mac. Ya that would be killer in an ST! I had never dreamed of that. @exxos if your going to work the N.2 addition could you also add this video card? Maybe a new supply to drive it all and an processor upgrade to take advantage of the new hardware. Come on folks..

Yeah why not. Might as well add in a pentium processors with water cooling for a extra speed boost as well. Then install windows on it.
