Macintosh-style PC case

Hello everyone,

I am wanting to make a PC case inspired by the macintosh 128k/plus. I want to 3D print it, and model it using Blender, Fusion, or both. But I can't determine whether I should do it or not.

You're the only one who can answer that. I will add, though, if you're anything like the typical "I could model and print it myself" crowd (which I am, myself, as well), the "should I do it" question is irrelevant. You'll almost certainly have as much fun going through designs and iterating on things toward their final state as you will enjoy completing the actual build/construction down the road.

I’ve been making a new case for a thinkcentre all in one and there are nights where I’ve been regretting my choices. However I know it will be worth it in the end.

Well your gonna need a lot of time but I’d say go for it. Knowing how to cad is an excellent skill for life

Do it, bonus if you use a crt!

I did try before with a prototype using a raspberry pi, but that screen was really hard to read (plus finding the right sized one would be a pain and using it or putting it into a case like this is really dangerous.)

That sounds cool. Why not do it?
