Yes, I know its been done before, but hey I'm new to the community as well... Sorry for not having worklog pictures taken till AFTER it was finished (the thought of them hit me as soon as I had finished...).

Here are the pictures of my Apple Blue and White G3 case modification. Oh did I mention thats a full 30.5cm motherboard in there.
The system has an MSI K8T Neo2 (which is 30.5cm x 19.4cm). An ATI X1950 Pro, 2 SATA HDD's (500gb and 200gb respectively), DVD+-RW drive, and ZIP100. I tried to keep the modification as stealth as possible (in the condition I had gotten the case in the first place, which was from a local college, so to say, not the greatest of condition).
The last 2 pictures, show the ugly notch I had to make to allow the motherboard to fit, as well as the second picture (the very bottom corner, you see a small rounded notch in the case plastic).
You'll notice, the hard drive tray is missing from the bottom, this is because I used SATA and I didn't want to crush the cables.The hard drive mount modification isn't really showcased, however, its basically a vertical style hard drive mount from another case thats cut and mounted to the top of the case, above the DVD-ROM/ZIP100 tray.
Yes, the power supply is open, that was done to alleviate heat problems as the CPU heatsink had a fraction of an inch between the PSU case and itself.
Tell me what you think? Good, bad? Suggestions welcome. Overall, for my VERY first case modification, I think it turned out pretty decent.
[EDIT]Forgot to mention what type of processor is in here...its a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.16ghz.[/EDIT]
