I have installed a uATX motherboard, power supply, and HDD inside the Clone case. This posting was created on the uATX inside the clone. More information is available at http://www.resysinfo.com/uatx-install

Barney has done a great job figuring out how to put a micro-ATX PC inside the Clone without requiring a new rear panel for the Clone and with minimum modification to the existing rear panel!

One option to Barney's design would be to utilize the right AUX switch on the Clone front panel as the PC's power switch. The right AUX switch is not used by the Clone, but instead, is connected to holes for a three-pin header next to the switch. If desired, PC power and reset could both be wired to the two different toggle directions of the right AUX switch.

Finally, if anyone has easy access to onsey-twosey metal fab, then I can provide information for rear panel design that allows use of the pre-drilled holes in the base of the Clone for the motherboard and hard drive.

Good work Barney!
