Managed to get a bit of work done today.
The slim cdrom/floppy combo drive ripped from an old netvista needed a bit of work, The floppy was dead so that got discarded.
The plugs were set up to go straight up, which would prevent the top of the case from closing (its still a tight fit anyway), so i cut off the IDE plug and re aligned it. I broke a pin or two and had to re-solder them back on.

I also cut the window and side grills. still have to clean it up a bit and repaint yet.
