The adaptor has a depth of about 5mm including able. Is space that tight
??

Geraint, that won't work for his application.  The U1s have very
little room for play in the drive bays, especially the hard disk bay. 
You can fit two 3.5" half-height SCA disks in there and nothing else. 
If you put an adapter on, the drive won't fit - it'll stick out too
far. :-/  Yeah, it's teh suck, but it's sun for you.

Jamie, I found a nice 18G disk for $40US at a place over here called
surplus computers (http://www.surpluscomputers.com/).  I'm not sure if
they do int'l shipping, but it's worth a look.

I'm sure though, that you'll be able to find something closer to home on
eBay...
