I probably would have donated my 6500 and mini ITX motherboard to this project if I'd listed it sooner! The build looks awesome!

Cheers guys, the real reason I wanted to go with all brand new parts for this was that it is constantly transported on the back of a bike through lots of dirt and poorly maintained roads for hours at a time... so far the Sugru has kept the 3.5" drive saf(er) and has lasted since last December with this kind of punishment on a weekly basis since then.
