As am I! The SSD really makes a difference though, turning a miserably slow but adequate server into a decent little server overall.
For those that might be interested, this is the SATA adapter that I wound up using; $3.77 shipped! And with a little bending of the SATA port to scoot it into a flatter angle, plus taking the housing off of the SSD to make it flatter, it fits in there beautifully and works just as well. That's the only problem with the Apple TV - there's not a whole lot of room in there to use much of anything that wasn't there originally. You need to get rather creative to fit better components into it. Then again, what's a hack without getting creative, right?
And so, my little server chugs along under a table holding up my second monitor. You can see in the picture that I have attached little rubber feets to the bottom to provide some additional ventilation across the bottom surface; I've never had any temperature problems, but better safe than sorry. I also added a small bit of garnish to the little guy :beige:
