Minihack, are you still considering the separate GPU? I was on a hunt for a half-mini to PCIe adapter to hook up a capture card and ran across a nice selection of stuff from Amfeltec. They have a variety of host boards (PCIe/mini PCIe/Half Mini PCIe) and a selection of slot boards (1x, 4x, 16x) with a variety of power options from powered by the host card, 12v power or ATX power. I contacted them and they can mix and match them however you like.
For example, the unlisted SKU-035-19 part number is a MiniPCI Express (half) to x16 PCI Express Adapter, ATX powered. I'm sure they have a SKU for a half-mini to x16 12v powered combo.
Kinda pricy... that combo is $72.

They also have Mini PCIe splitters that look interesting.
Edit: Ahh... it was DJ that suggested the GPU card... ahh well, maybe their splitter might be an option to move the flash drive, for better cooling, and still keep another slot available for something else.
