Dang....
I am very tempted to get that to transplant either a conventional ATX computer, or a Power Mac G4 motherboard, in to.

Bonus points if you adapt that CRT in your mod. I like Quadraman's idea about an SE/30...just imagine if that SE/30 had a bigger screen in there too!
Perhaps one could even replace the CRT with a similar sized one and have a built-in colour monitor...I'd imagine a 12" Apple RGB might fit.

According to everymac the dimensions are 15.2" H x 18.7" W x 13.8" D.
The monitor is a 12" monochrome.
My wild guess is there'd be room for a Beige G3 motherboard in there, possibly an AGP G4. Lots more room if you went LCD on the monitor.
Pff Power Colour Classic. Call that a casemod? pchtooie
Of course, it'd have to boot up into full-screen LisaEm by default [

So yeah... but no colour with an SE/30 motherboard.

Man if that wasn't in the US I'd be warming up my dremel as we speak }
No, in truth if I was to casemod it, I'd try to keep the case completely stock, and the new components completely stealth. That way it could always be returned to virgin Lisa status if I got bored with it.
ie not like this: UR DOIN IT RONG
Them's lynchin' words round these parts .... /edit/ but I suppose you could run GlobalView or GNUstep or LisaEM on it

Rather than an SE/30, take a leaf out of the Poor Man's Greyscale project and stick in an LC475 or Quadra motherboard and a 12" Apple High-Resolution Monochrome Monitor. An ADB keyboard and mouse should go quite well with it.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... That be just a wee bit fugly.
DO NOT WANT
I'd beat that guy up not because he ruined an SE/30 but because his modding is just shite. Talk about sloppy :\
I'm surprised that site put up that monstrosity as a featured project, what with some other good ones I've seen on there like the Mac-ITX project. Very very poor execution for a mod. That shouldn't even have made the page at all.DO NOT WANT

To this day, I don't think I've seen anything better than that 512k Macintosh mod with the Mac mini inside using the original keyboard and mouse.
Yeah. His stealth port adapters for the new motherboard are exactly what I was thinking. The guy who did the ITX Commodore SX-64 did something similar.
Meanwhile: anyone going to buy that Lisa shell?
