  You would need a power supply, drive(s) & cable(s) - thats about it! You
  can easily build an adpater to use the 1000 keyboard and you really don't
  need a case (opps... your not from the FCC are you :-). If your serious
  about going this route (and im not saying its good or bad) I would
  suggest that you also buy a 2000 power supply. It might save you some head
  aches later.
