Here is the DVD drive in place held by some hard drive brackets I found. It's hooked up to the IDE cable adapter. The remote receiver sits in the middle so that the remote signals go right through the Apple logo. I also wired three white leds and made a little box for it to contain the light so it wouldn't leak out into the rest of the Cube. I know It's a mess, but it works!
Here is a side shot, you can see the DVD drive held up in place. There is also the power supply stuffed inside and the 3.5" 500GB SATA hanging.
Here is the complete setup. The Zalman VGA cooler sits on top of the cpu, the IDE cable runs into the center down to the DVD drive, and there are some heatsink stuck on the RAM.
The Elgato Hybrid bringing my HD needs. I decided not to put it inside the Cube since this thing is so small, I was originally planning on putting a Miglia TVmini HD inside, but when Elgato released the hybrid, I couldn't pass it up.
Another shot showing just how small the tuner is.

Really nice glow and the slot load DVD drive works beautifully.
The right metal piece is the touch sensitive electrode and it gives off a small beep when it's touched. The left piece was going to become an electrode for DVD ejection but I decided against it since Remote Buddy offers an easy way to eject DVDs.
My glorious night light.
The Cube finally done!
