Well, this is a well known technique and I'm sure you've heard about it before....but a tactics page wouldnt be a tactics page without the Reaver drop...so here you go:

Since the Reaver do splash damage they are extremly good at killing enemy ground units..one scarab can take out lots of marines for an example.
Build two Reavers and make sure you have upgraded them so that they can carry 10 scarabs instead of 5. If you have money enough also upgrade the scarab damage. Then build a shuttel and load the Reavers into it. Then fly and drop them at his minerals...(make sure you have scouted the area first...we dont want them to destroy our shuttle). If you're lucky you should have been able to kill all his peons before he has understood what is going on...then load the Reavers into the Shuttle again and get your ass out of there. This could be a great hit and run technique if you know what you are doing.
Hint: Bring another Shuttle with two High Templars in...they are GREAT as backup if your Reavers get attacked by air units.
