Not bad... I hope to be doing an all in one bubble Mac PC conversion, once I figure out how to clean the case up a bit... Think of windows hardware, as well as a screen of some kind, in the gutted out shell of a computer that looks something like this picture...(picture is from wikipedia) oh, and I forgot, it has a manufacturing date on it from 1998, so I think that would fit in the 90s

Do you plan on keeping the screen

If you mean the crt, then no, I need all the space I can get for the parts, and since I'm thinking about putting a M-atx or M-itx board in there, with full ryzen processor (not sure if I'll get an APU or just standard CPU with external graphics card), I won't have room for it... And it's already gutted, and the wires to the screen destroyed in the process, anyways...

One thing I saved though, after tearing one apart over 15 years ago, though, are the speakers, cuz they are usually da bomb... I had so much Bass coming out of them it wasn't funny... New speakers look like they haven't rotted either... I also saved the microphone, although I'm not sure how good that will work without upgrades, and stuff...

 

I plan on doing something for putting a motherboard tray in it, possibly buying a plastic test bench setup like LTT showed in a video a few years ago, as long as it supports M-itx and/or M-atx...

I love it! The floppy & zip drives are a nice touch and really tie the look together. The 120mm fan vents (for the AIO I presume?) do of course give away that it's been modded buuuuut that doesn't strike me as at all bad or anachronistic as it looks just like mods people were doing 20 years ago. Nicely done!

Also, I plan to reuse the power button as well as the LED, although the rest of the stuff on that particular circuit board will probably not get used

I do like the old style look, but I hope he cleaned up some of the drive cages that are likely inside, cuz dam, back then, they didn't even hear about this thing called airflow...

I have a similar case.

I drilled the front bezel holes a bit larger. I didn't add any fans to the case though because it seemed the power supply fan was adequate.

How is the zip drive connected?
