Here are some photos comparing it to my full tower case.

Things I would do differently:

Take more time over hole cutting in general. I could have made it a lot neater. Possibly find a box big enough to allow a CD drive etc..

Complaints:
Although the VIA motherboard is feature packed they dont include any cables for the TV outs, the only cable with it is an IDE. I'd have thought at least some kind of small TV out cable with it. Also if they could cram an AGP slot on it shopping for a vid card for it would be easier.

Overall Conclusion

I havn't had time to test it completely performance wise but it seems fine at the moment for just general XP and office working. I've done some web browsing and found it to sometimes be difficult to read things but that may just be my small TV.

Credits

I would like to thank www.maplin.co.uk for selling all sorts of little bits and bobs that were essential to this mod (like the case for example). I would also like to thank www.ebuyer.com for selling very cheap PC parts. Big thanks (and i mean big, like elephant size) go to VIA for making such an exceedingly small motherboard.
