How awesome would it be if you can squeeze in a disk shelf link it up to the mini itx board and you're off to the races!

A digiconnect USB over IP hub. A Minisform BD770i build serving namely as the multi-media rig. I know that's overkill, but I want it. Finally, add in a serious NAS solution... not sure if that's another device or something I already mentioned.
