i quote: ''Internal hardware layout very similar to the 2010 Mac Mini: Except for the missing optical drive, the 2011 Mac Mini has an internal hardware layout that???s nearly identical to the 2010 Mini.''
would it be technically possible to put the internals in a 2010 casing and stick an optical drive in it? if this is possible this could be an interesting home project. i'd probably put a blueray drive for laptops in it so i can still read optical media with my machine while being powered by a fast sandy bridge chip.
then it would serve perfectly as my home studio PC
