The signal integrity of the ATA controller ofthe 5200B is rather weak and cables longer than 10cm are not realiable in conjunction with the 5200B. The Design is simply not intended for such a use.
Better access optical drives from other computers/NSDs by ethernet.

Didn't the buffered IDE adapter correct the same problem on the 1200?

I'd like to see the Mac Mini port come out, I would definitely buy a copy (or maybe two and I'll pick up another mini!). If they actually get it out by the end of the year, that would be awesome - but I know how programming projects tend to go, so I won't hold my breath.

Remember its once again only a mobo. You still have to spend quite some money for casing and psu, plus taxes+shipping. It aint gonna be cheap buddy

Dude, what you're looking for is already on the market and in millions of homes.  It's called a PS3.

Can you actually ftp files over to one of those or use nfs or samba with one? not really much point anyway - I doubt it would play back most of my files. many of them are poorly encoded at best, and will not work in anything except VLC...
