I agree, Bill.  I was only using that as an example.
Besides, for my project, the building part is the
experience more than the end result.  Users would
want to build their own.

I know it will not be a IIGS.  Notice I said Stealth
PC.  ;-)  There is a link on HardOCP.com about
someone who did this with an iMac but I prefer the
IIGS system's look myself.

Besides, the Stealth PC may also serve as a IIGS
monitor if I manage to get a Video Turtle.  I intend
to put a Radeon card in the Stealth PC to provide
S-video in.
