It took several weeks to source all the parts, but I think I've done it.
The hardest part was locating the 10" color crt capable of displaying 1024x768 that was short enough to fit in the case, I finally found one, so the mod is underway.
Specs.
Intel Atom core 2 running at 2 ghz.
2gb ram
300 gb 7200 rpm sata HDD
Intel GMA integrated graphics
integrated iphone dock
integrated USB breakout box (this rig will be used as an effect box for guitar performances)
integrated webcam/microphone.
CD/DVD RW slot loading.
functional auto eject floppy.
Every compact mac mod I've seen (with the exception of takky CC upgrades) has been pretty sloppy. Even if the mod doesn't effect the external asthetics of the mac, the inside is rife with velcro and cut corners. I know I'll never see the inside of this box, but it will make me feel better that everything looks integrated, like it came that way from the factory.
I chose the atom processor, (mini itx form factor) because I thought the beauty of these first macs was the lack of noise they made. This setup will allow me to run fanless.
For your eyes only spyshot below. Further updates as I make them.
