Actually this is not such a bad idea! Mod the case of the PStwo, fit a shielded plugin for both hdd and chip. Run the wiring inside PStwo for soldering points to support a chip and hdd. Then fabricate a case (frag box) with shielded plugins and a small power supply to power (internal) hdd. Fit an eide plugin on both cases, connect them with appropriate cables and whahla you got your self a nifty lil whatyamajigger. Ofcourse there is a little more to it but the concept isnt a bad idea. Not sure if this would actually work but in theory, who knows.

Edit: After more thought, this would be hella cool but the bios probably would not support this kind of craziness/madness. We would need to flash it.

"When the slim-downed unit was revealed, keen-eyed observers asked, "where's the hard-disc drive bay?" We posed the question to Sony, which confirmed the new unit would not have an HDD bay."
