Mac Mini (Intel) - multi-region hack for DVDs?

[The Dude]

Is it possible? Most the reading I've done seem to suggest it's not possible with the internal DVD drive, many people suggesting that the way to go is buy an external DVD drive that doesn't have a hardware region lock but, well, that's not cool really is it?

Anyone know of a work-around or, failing that, can suggest an external DVD drive that would be suitable?

My DVD player is on it's last legs and I'd love to retire it and use the Mini for DVD playback but over half of my DVD are R1 and the rest R2 (and others).

I managed to use info from here to get my old PowerBook region free. I must admit I've not bothered with my MBP yet...
