6GB Fujitsu HDD mounted to the top with Industrial grade Velcro. I hate using stuff like Velcro. I use the industrial grade stuff to make it sound more appealing. The 44-pin IDE cable is shown. It's so cool because it also supplies power to the hard drive thus eliminating a cable.

They're finally together again. Picture shows modification to vent slats in order to attach various cables. Wood showing through the slats is used as a spacer and attachment point for board. I couldn't make something without a little wood.

Keyboard, mouse, video and Ethernet cables attached. Faux ATX cabling attached and ready to fool.

Testing, Yes, it is running. Single USB plug in top is shown with a 32MB Flash Drive installed. There was a slot in the top that was almost exactly the size of a USB plug. I had to only lengthen it about 1mm with a metal file. Perfect fit. The flash drive is used to transfer files.
