Here is an update shot of the internals.  You can see that I have used several Mac parts-G5 hd cage, G4 MDD optical cage, the superdrive is even from my old MDD.  Sure it will get some more grooming inside but this is a build on the cheap and I will mostly focus on the lower section where the window is.

I will be airbrushing soon, stay tunned.  Oh and there is some room in the top for a mini...

Sadly all of my digital cameras are crappy, So far the best cam I have at the moment is my cell phone.

I need to get some wire mesh to make a grill for the front of the case to cover up that fan. Also I need to change out the blue to red and paint the power supply case. Also invest in some round IDE cables. I've had this case since 1997 and has been though a lot.

Your system still looks 10 times better then mine.

Heres my Seti@Home system.





Now before anyone makes fun of the turkey baster I used it for injecting the coolant into my water cooler.

What type of screen are you using that fits in a 5.25" bay?  Additionally, any advice on where to get such a screen?

Its a seven inch portable TV, widescreen that my wife picked up for me somewhere.  Its a tight squeeze.  I know a lot of people use the portable PSone screens quite a bit.  As long a the pcb board that attaches to the LCD isnt bigger than the opening, 7" should match a 5.25 bay.  One thing you may have to mod is the connections.  Mine were on the sides of the PCB and stuck out of the side of the case.  I had to change the to run on the back of the board.
