One excellent candidate for a gut replacement project is the 48G (granted, it's expensive). Its keyboard is top quality, it comes in a board that is separated from the main board (so you can remove it) and the connectors are exposed, so you can hook up a great keyboard to your new guts very easily (here's the link with pictures, you can thank Han for it): http://users.ju.edu/hduong/repair/.

The case is huge and there's plenty of space inside (19 mm thick), because the G model doesn't have the 2 slots for the memory cards, so it's a big hollow space (Li-Ion battery?).
The display board can be removed independently too, and the display opening is 64 mm x 36 mm, enough for many display sizes.

Do it yourself projects tend to be bulky, so maybe the extra space will be needed and the higher price is justified (especially if you are planning to put 3 Arduino boards in there!).
