Custom Ryzentosh Plus Build

[plumptree]

Hi there everyone.

I am attempting a pretty cool build of a mini-ITX Ryzen setup inside of an old Macintosh Plus case.

I'm trying to keep the exterior clean and not modify the plastic, so how exactly would I secure the standoffs to the plastic? I'm okay with messing up the insides but I want to exterior to be clean. Would a strong epoxy be enough?

I have attached a 3D model of my plan and would like and tips on mounting.

 

Update: I'm also going to be using this as a NAS with a Windows 10 VM on it with 2c4t for each OS.

I think this might be a good method of mounting the motherboard:

I think Ryzentosh Plus would be a better name, as the word Hackintosh gets your topic/post locked pretty quickly  

 

Nice project, though. What are you going to do display wise?

careful throwing "hackintosh" here, the mods will lock threads that talk about actual hackintoshing.

something in the community standards. They don't want you talking about how to get OSX on a homebrew computer because it's a pretty grey area legally.

Hackintoshing is against Apple's TOS and therefore illegal. It's not allowed to be discussed on this forum because of that.

Pitch black actually. 100% illegal.

My mistake, I thought it was a little unsure.

That's been amended, check the CS:

I was just going to pick up a "cheap" Eyoyo 10in 4:3 1024x768 monitor off amazon.ca and internally have the 1050 plug into it from there, no cutting of original plastic at all like some other builds I see in these cases.

 

Still haven't had the funds for the project as car payments and being in high school dont help much with money. I've also changed my mind on some of the parts, opting for the cheaper Ryzen 5 2400G for it's onboard graphics to have separate displays for both a Windows VM and a FreeNAS VM. Oh yeah, this would now be a NAS for my household so my Dad can watch Die Hard from any device, any time.
