The signatures of the Macintosh team are still visible inside. I immediately knew I could fit a whole PC, including a smallpower supply, inside that case.Still, it took some creative packaging to get everything orientedcorrectly.

Apples original motherboard is just a bit larger than a modern Mini-ITX motherboard, and the removal of the CRT left a considerable amount of space inside for other components. But what to do with that emptycase? Why, its the perfect size for a custom Mini-ITX PC! Introducing my liquid-cooled Core i7 monster Mac SE!
