I don't have any 'internals' pictures or even pictures from other angles, but here's a picture of a CK²III that I just made for my girlfriend for her birthday (she needed something to drive her HD580s). The case is a wooden music box that I found at TJ Maxx.
I call it the CK²-III: WAF Edition.
Unlike my own CK²III, this build went without so much as a hiccup. I really like the way that it came out, and as a bonus, it allowed me to continue my mindless indulgence in gold-plated hardware.

The volume knob is the gold knob with the abalone cap. I got it on eBay.

Just recently finished the Starving Student Millet Hybrid. This one is more of a "Feasting Student" since I maxed it out a bit, but to make sure it looks like a "Starving Student", I messed up on the heatsinks and had to reverse them, which obviously looks very amateurish.
Parts Used:
Alps RK27 POT
Sprague Vitamin Q Coupling caps
Nichicon KZ 470uF Output caps
Nichicon UHE 470uF PSU caps
Damn this thing runs HOT! Even with the large heatsinks it's VERY hot. I torture tested it for about 16 hours straight, it lives, but definitely warms up the place.
At the price, it's a very nice map, I like it.

I finally cased up my Amp 6 basic. Planning on building a Starving Student Millet to match this one.

The case was custom made basically. I took rough looking aluminum corner pieces and polished them and then had some wood cut. I needed some guys to help at work so it took a while to put it all together. Couldn't have done it without the help since the majority of my tools are back in Canada.
It is a vandal switch.
