I just had to buy <a href="http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170309841784" rel="nofollow">this adapter</a>, took out the cables from the molex connector and hooked them to the white 2-pin connector located by the PCI slot. It gives you the needed 5V. I just had to chop off a little bit of the pins on the cable, and being hollow I didn't even have to weld them to the motherboard. You'll probably have to update the BIOS to the latest release (I've got the Q revision). I you want a 3.5" HDD you'll also have to get 12V from the power supply somehow. Another friend has done that with his S400, although the disk didn't fit in the casing and he left it on the surface. As a matter of fact, I have :-)
