beerman, I haven't modified my ATV, but I can tell you about my experiences with streaming.
I picked up the smaller drive ATV with the thought of replacing the HD to store more content. But once I figured out how to stream, I found that it works very well.
It might take a few seconds to wake up the drives I'm streaming from, but once it gets going there is rarely a hiccup. Movies, TV, pics, music, with virtually no problems whatsoever.
If you pick up the aTV Flash, let us know how it performs. I am converting some video from non supported formats to Apple TV format, but the conversion quality isn't quite there.
