Building a custom Mac mini from MacBook parts?

Hello,

I have a bunch of MacBook parts laying around that work, including a logic board.

Is there a way to make a custom case (maybe from a CNC machine or a 3D printer) for thi logic board to use it like a Mac mini? I have done this before, but it looked really ugly. (Although it did work)

Well it's not going to fit in a mini case. It would fit, with plenty of room in a Power Mac G5 case or any old beige machine or PowerMac G4 case.

It would be some work but I guess you could create a case. The only problem I see here is the parts you do have may not be interoperable (or working).

Interesting project for fun though!
