What about a keyboard/mouse connection? How would one get that accomplished?

Nice job though!

yea in the pics it may be hard to see but it does have one usb port.

i just got a 4 port usb hub that i'm going to mount in the box so i can have two external usb ports and two internal ones (one for a usb wifi adaptor and one for maybe a bluetooth module someday.)

oh yea the boxmac has since booted and seems to work fine. and it now has a proper power swtich and power jack and an internally fitted usb wifi adaptor that isnt hooked up because the usb hub isnt hooked up yet.

Oh and i also have someone who's gonna get me a slot-loading cd drive, so i wont have the ugly tray...

after i get all this smoothed out, all it needs is an audio jack, ethernet jack and all the indicator LEDs put it and the case properly closed and stuff, and it'll be complete!
