   From the experience of myself and others, a minitower is really
darn hard to do, if not impossible. Mostly because of size,
incompatible slot placement, interference from drives, etc. Getting a
medium or full tower is really recommended. [I have all my scsi stuff
in a minitower now; if I ever feel like I have too much time on my
hands, and spare cash, I might get a full tower and put everything in
that]

   From the comments I saw, what looked most doable was this basic
outline: get a full tower, and a cellulite board to mount the
motherboard on. (The screw sizes & placements differ from the GS to
clone standard). Then, put that in the tower, and provide support to
keep the slot cards from falling over too much, etc.
