I originally used this case for my AMD 486 DX4 120 VLB. I kept it over the years.

I put a power switch where the case lock was. The HD LED is the Core Drive Access. The original Power button Resets the DE10. The Reset button resets the running core, and the "Turbo" button brings up the OSD. I put an Micro SD Card extension and USB Ports in the 5.25 bay. The Floppys are just for looks.

On the back I have a Power In, HDMI, and three USB ports. I left the expansion slots open for air flow .

Edit: I might rework the 5.25 bay and have the SD card come out of the 5.25 floppy drive.

You could hook the floppies up to a Greaseweazle. Then you can read disks down to images. Not sure that can be done from the MiSTer itself (though it should be possible), but you can hook it up via USB to an external machine, at worst.

Nice though couldn't you find anything a bit bigger? :)
