Size Comparison

In some of the other pictures it may appear that a normal desktop case was just shoved inside another box. It was not nearly that easy, the only part that is original from a desktop case is the backplane holding the ports, power supply and cards. But even the backplane was modified.

Here are some picture comparisons showing the custom case sitting next to an average size desktop computer.
