Mac Mini 2014/Cube

[iserviceclub17]

Hello! I'm Zach from Greece, and I'm loving all the G4 cube builds!!
So I am the proud owner of a working G4 Cube which I took apart with patients and attention not to ruin anything. I will upload photos soon. The mobo from the Mac Mini is very tall in one side so I'm looking for a solution in that area. I will probably remove the io plastic thing. Any help and suggestions are welcomed. I already cut the io part out, except the buttons part.
Photos soon to come...

Zach, you said the Mac Mini motherboard was very tall? The early G4/Intel Mac Mini's are smaller than the Intel ones... I would assume an M1 mini is also smaller than the Intel ones. Intel Mac Mini vs. Cube, it should fit inside:

When you remove the plastic I/O, you should have plenty of space left.

I think so too. I will try that because i want a working Cube/Mac Mini soooo bad!!!
