[SOLVED] ESATA on an iMac?

[wildwell]

Does anyone know of a way to get eSATA into an iMac?
What about an external I/O box connecting by firewire to provide eSATA connections (although at a slower connection speed of course)?

It seems like it's possible after seeing this: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/turnkey/iMac_2010_27

Thanks for the reply. I've run into that same set-up too. It seems the new iMac's have a second SATA port on the board internally to connect a second drive to. The mod we see online is basically an eSATA cable running from the board to the bottom of the computer with a hole cut into it.
