Hi Elias,
Sounds like a fun project! I don't really have any help to offer you, but the concerns I have would be with figuring out how to interface to the existing hardware. Speakers shouldn't be a problem, but that's about it for easy connections.
With regard to power, I assume it would be easiest to just run a power jack to the side of the of the case, but if you have provisions for battery power that would have to be fit inside the case in place of the existing battery.
Other than those items, the biggies are the display, keyboard and trackpad. It's going to be interesting to hear how the keyboard and trackpad connect up, because I'm guessing Apple most likely uses proprietary interfaces, although they may be connected via something like an I2C or possibly a USB interface. Alisha (@flannelist) may know more about it; they're our local Apple expert, having worked as an Apple technician.
In my mind the biggest challenge is going to be the display. It's hard to say whether you're going to be able to find any kind of interface between it and your Raspberry Pi. On one hand it's entirely possible they used a somewhat standard interface, but it's just as likely that it's specific to Apple and will only work with some sort of Apple controller. @oldturkey03 might know more about that.
Anyway, those are the major issues I can think of; of course the camera could be a bit of a puzzle; not sure how that connects up. I'd love to have you update this as you work and let us know what you find out and how the connection goes.
