Is there a good reason why you want to use BNC networking? What's wrong
with RJ45?

Try putting the X-Surf in the middle. It's probably the smallest
of all the cards. Also you could put a fan in one of the slots.

Don't know, but I shouldn't think so.

Get a Tower Case ;) Seriously, if you get the Goldsurfer module, that
will take up two more blanking slot positions and leave you very short
on space.
If you haven't already done so, download the IDE drivers, but don't
expect a massive improvement on the exising A4000 IDE port.

Unlikely, but it's probably going to be a while before it's available,
and there's a healthy amount of software for it,
