This cab is 17" height x 18" deep x 12" wide. The monitor is a fujitsu 12" with 800x600 resolution. Its actually a touch screen monitor with vga input, but it is a POS monitor, so there isnt much info on the net about it. I got it on ebay, new for $50. It also has built in speakers, so that one one less thing i had to worry about while building.

Nice build, that is going to be my next project once my daughter gets older.  Not going to waste my money and get a 360 which I have and never play or a Wii.  I am using the same motherboard as my media server at home.  I picked up the board for $49.99cdn shipped from a place here in Canada.  The funning thing is my 2gb stick of ram cost as much as the motherboard and my promise SATA raid controller which added 4 extra ports cost me $70 lol.

I would have gotten some black bolts for your joysticks so they don't stand out as much unless you were going for that contrast look.

Is it a Mini-ITX? For only 50$? Mind giving me the URL?  :D

Well, it looks like the mobo i got from newegg.com must have been on sale at $50 bucks. Here is an alternative, it has a socket 775 slot and nvidia geforce 7050 integrated gpu.

Yes it is Mini-ITX and it was a special 1 day sale the website had.  I figure for $50 and processor included was a steal.  I wasn't sure what to do with it but ordered first and thought about it later.  Then I ended up using it as a file server.
