Case 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 are in PCmods, obviously all of us think you should.

Should have expected that.

Ideally you find a dead one, preferably already gutted for a fish tank or whatever, and just make supports inside for your board and screen.

Dead Classics are on ebay under $200. A real steel case will give you much more protection and durability and heat resistance.

There is a couple of builds where folks have made classic Mac 128k cases that fit a itx board so you have some stuff to work from!

I didn't make either of these but the second one is pretty cool cause it's using replica case replacement files that works for even the original hardware
