Coming together

Behold!


That there is a working Mac with 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and 80GB hard drive.

Not 'quite' there yet with the case. I have to add some small mounting points for the keyboard and trackpad to rest on and attach the left hand side of the case where the USB ports are. However everything is in its place, the motherboard is bolted down so it can't move about and everything else is held in place in the most hack friendly method ever....black duct tape.

The DVI port on the back. You can still see the masking tape I used...that will come off eventually


The magsafe adapter...again with the masking tape. I'll have to cut a rebate as the case is still a little too deep but it works.


The internals....all covered in tape :)
When I'm feeling up to it I may use some other method but this keep all the wires and whatnot in place inside a case that was not designed for it.


The side USB ports. There will be a cover on here eventually with space for the USB ports to stick out.



And one last view from the front



Now it's basically down to the finishing touches and she'll be all done :)
