Thought i'd share some pics of my nucore project. Decided to use an original case and see if could mount everything without massive changes to the case or cutting huge holes into it. Think i've managed this ok and am well happy with the result. I'm using ribbon cables to external headers for the vga, parallel, usb connections etc pretty much like the original setup was configured. Will be using an internal header usb connection for the new usb board.

1 x Asus P5KPL-AM EPU iG31 Socket 775 onboard VGA 6 Channel Audio mATX Motherboard
1 x Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz Socket 775 1066FSB 3MB L2 Cache Processor

Very cool. How are you planning to support the arcadevga when you install it?
