I've been working on a build very slowly. It's even still on the drawing board. Thing is I need a theme and also hardware ideas that I have to yet think of/about yet.

I won't disclose the main puzzle of the project but I will enclose a few things that will be used.

Fiberglass
paint
highend audio
sheet metal
fans
water

I have been hard at work on this. I have placed together a DIY water cooling kit. All you need is a water block and the rest can be bought at home depot and a auto part store.

I'm also working on a LED matrix for the project. It's a copy of the 5.25 LED Matrix for PC but with some work it can be ported to a mac.

Next payday i'm going to start on the case and start from there.

Has anyone tried using a WiiMote on their macs yet? Since my system doesn't have a remote I was thinking about using my extra WiiMote controller.

Hmm, doesn't seem right. Plugging in IR leds into a USB cable doesn't work. If it does then i'm a monkey's uncle and everyone that I know that has built remote systems for the PCs will be pissed.
