The Finished TARDIS

I'd like to say this has been enjoyable, but I'd be lying. The final month or so of work was a pain in the neck as I've now realised that having a computer in the shape of a TARDIS is pretty unpractical (mainly due to the constraits of the motherboard). And the computer itself is totally underpowered. You live and learn. But, here's those final photos and some useful links.

On the up side, I've got a cracking idea for my next mod...
