    You could do a fancy lcd...
    oh.. damn :p

    On a more serious note:
    • Winamp VU meter
    • Some other type of led/parallel port contraption that monitors something like CDP useage (one color for 75%- and one for 75%+ or something)
    • Build your own baybus
    • Some other idea I'm sure someone will come up with
    • OH OH I'VE GOT IT!!! Two floppy drives :p

    mini fish tank with fake fish (don't want to fry the little buggers if you use real ones) and one of those treasure chests that pop open from air bubbles every 30 seconds...

    that would definately not be dull...

    I personally like the last idea, though i believe it would look a little less professional then he is going for.

    How about on/off swiches for your CCFLs and LEDs and a floppy drive?

    My first choice was the card reader but that was already taken. :(

    If you have a PDA, why not mod the docking cradle into the drive slots so you have internal docking?

    I'd just turn it into a drawer for some pens, extra screws, and a calculator or whatever. Whatever you do, make it look like it's nothing but some blank panels.
