Are you completely mad?  I happen to have my external sitting in front of
me, lid off, as I type, and it not only measures at least 3x the size of
the internal, the entire board is tightly populated with a hell of a lot
more componentry than the internals.  There is no free space at all.

The physical evidence is right in front of me, Rod.  There is no point
continuing this discussion, as I'm convinced you are an anti-USR zealot.

Regards, Bill
