If vibration is a problem - Polipods or Vibrapods (the 'cheaper' aftermarket stereo feet - AudioQuest Big Feet for the win - but you not making a Hi-Fi) pointless on carpet but if on a desk ideal.
Or google - 'rubber feet' and 'cabinet feet' for some options.
low profile ones could be mounted in for the edge so the case looks like it's floating

doh just filled in the quick reply box not the edit 
Feet are made thanks to a hole-saw and some leftover teak, will stick some chair-leg-pad thingies on.
Bits are in! However to turn the thing on I'm having to poke a USB cable end onto the motherboard jumpers
If anybody has a switch (any old one will do, its to be on the back) and/or a thing that will connect to the front_audio pins --> green hole.
Photos taken but need to make the perilous trek downstairs to the mac to get them off the camera so they'll be on later.

All help would be appreciated, I value your collective experience as I have none so far (except for changing RAM in a Mac Mini)
Jim
Stinka, I think this man can achieve anything if he's had the experience of changing RAM in a Mac Mini! As far as I can remember this procedure involves two putty knives, a bottle of Valium for your nerves, and a very large quantity of pot luck!
It's nice to see someone appreciates how terrifying it was
Any of you who think we are overreacting just go and try it for yourselves
