Be warned -- Soren may be a good electrical engineer, but
he isn't a computer engineer.  The case supplied with the
net4801 is completely inadequate in terms of ventilation
for use with a 2.5" HD -- even though it appears to be
designed to hold it (with the mounting kit).  I'm running
with the case lid off until I come up with a long-term solution.
