I'm on my WebDT right now... but as soon as I take pics, I'll post the specifics of this case mod. Currently I have a 2GB USB stick housed inside the unit, so if it drops its well protected --- also acts as secondary hdd (which boots too!).
Will post full details later with pics.

Dark,
I cant quite work out where all 4 wires solder and which is which. The best I can make out is:
J3? Pin1 (furthest right of set) is V+ and connected to Pin 1 on the Male USB
J2 Pin1 (furthest right of set) is D- and connected to Pin 2 on the Male USB
J2 Pin 2 is D+ and connected to Pin 3 on the Male USB
I can not see where the ground comes from but if I recall should be connected to Pin 4 USB
Please can you clarify where ground comes from and the above is correct.
I believe there are two USB ports taken to the cradle, do you know what pins are for the second usb connection?
Finally, the inside of your HD 366 looks just like my flash based unit, where does the HD go?
Thanks
Dave.

Wow now you mention it I see the differences. I understand not wanting to break a working unit and thanks for the pics, they are a good place to start. I can probably trace +5V and GND when I get to it. At the moment im still fighting with trying to install a xubuntu 8.10
Thanks again
Dave.
