Too bad you're in the UK.  I'd let you have some 811/911 cases for the cost of shipping.  I have like 4-8 of those in storage.  I don't even remember what size drives they have in them.   :lol:

The 911's are a nice to use for a casemod type project, as they have quite a lot of room for optical drives and such.  Spray paint it matte black and slap an extra NeXT logo on it for a sort of small "cube" computer.  The dimensions are off (9.5x10.5x6) to be a perfect cube, but if you pull the feet off of a 411 and set it on top of the 911 you get something close to 10 squared.  Another project in my mods book that never passed the preliminary design stage.

The 411's not so much room inside, but I have seen a few with miniITX systems.  I even saw one with parts from a damaged mac mini in it that the guy was using headless as a server.  It was in his "rack" corner with the dsl modem, router/switch and wireless AP.
