I do agree... and that is where heat pipes and other thermal management comes into play. I get that they liked the shape of the current mini, but it could easily be made smaller and maintain the same performance/thermals. If the teardown shows it with that much wasted space then I totally see them shrinking it. Having torn minis down on multiple occasions I can say the airflow pattern doesn't need more space. It pulls from the bottom and exhausts out the back. All the void is wasted.

I mean, unless they let us add internal SATA/PCIe drives to it. I don't expect that to happen though.
