SFF PC with LCD/VFD?

I'd like to get a white/blue color schemed SFF PC setup with an LCD or VFD. I like the looks of shuttle PCs, but there just doesn't seem to be much room for an LCD, and I've seen few pictures where people have used one with a shuttle. First of all, I'd like to know if an LCD is possible with a shuttle with little modding required. I'm going to need a CD rom, so that takes up the main slot, and I don't know of any blue backlit LCDs that would fit in a floppy slot.

If an LCD isn't much of an option with a shuttle, then what's a good looking SFF case that would have room for one? I'm going to be moving my main rig to the SFF case, so it will have to be pentium able and have room/power for an ATI 9700 Pro.
 
check out the antec aria...it lets you pick your mobo unlike the shuttles
 
liquid fontz makes one for the floppy, and I think matrix orbital has one too?

There's the new Shuttle G5 8300mc, but Im not sure about availabity yet...

And you could do the aria... but they're damn ugly.
 
Well, I couldn't find a blue LCD at Matrix Orbital, but I did find one at crystalfontz. Looks perfect, and even has some nifty buttons to go with it.

I'm still questioning if there will be room inside of a shuttle computer for the LCD and cable hookups inside and everything. I'm going to have a 9700 Pro inside it, too, so....I've never even seen a shuttle PC in person, so I'm not sure how much room is inside it. Here's the model LCD I'm considering.

I really like the aluminum face plate look - anyone know of any aluminum shuttle PC cases that would go well with that faceplate?

*edit*
looks like I found one of my answers. It does fit with the shuttle PCs - here's a review of the LCD, and the reviewer is using a shuttle X.
