I'm just not a great fan of slim line drives and was hoping to find a 
dongle style powersupply (like most laptops use) and then build a very 
compact box with just a standard dvd drive and the me6000 so that I get 
a completely fan less frontend unit around 40cm x 20cm x 5cm.....

Do you have any pointers as to what might be the least painless way to 
get the dvd in the otherwise disk less frontend?
