I really like what you have done here. I have jacked with my G4 Cube hack and have come to several conclusions:
1) Cooling is a bear in this form factor.
2) An optical drive is not needed.
3) The proximity switch is a pain and is not needed.
I have been working with a Zotac H67ITX-C-E with an i7 2600k and laptop hard drives in my latest go around. The proximity switch works (too well) and is the cause of unwanted shut downs. Anyway I have put the thing aside waiting to see your solution and eelhead's. And I am looking for another cube as mine is a total mess now.
The Intel DH61AG motherboard is a good solution to consider with the key attraction being the built-in PSU. I have Lion 10.7.2 running with everything working but sleep and wake from sleep. USB3 and eSATA have not been tested.
Again, your photo documentation is great; keep up the good work.
