Cutting lego bricks? Eugh. There's specific bricks that would have worked exactly.

Don't worry, I discussed this with the folks at LEGO already and we're good: http://imgur.com/dOkyl4S

But yeah, after this post some nice folks showed me how a <2mm wall can be achieved without slaughtering bricks (special wall pieces, mounted sideways to allow for the left side of the display's board to disappear in in the Mac's frame).

What bricks are those? I don't really see how you would build that wall. It looks like it needs to be thinner than 1 unit.

Also can the floppy slot be used for the microSD card?

I very much prefer 'catastrophy' - it's well-earned failure.
