This is a project that I'm very much involved it since November last year together with @WillJac and @jajan547 . Basically it's a remix of the already excellent RGB2HDMI and an ATX adapter for the SE/30. (with permission from Ian, it will be an official product in the end) :

The basic idea was to build a compact SE/30 but also to make simple bench testing tool when troubleshooting an SE or SE/30 board. Plug in ATX power and hdmi to the Pi Zero and you can run the whole machine :)

My friend @WillJac is talking and showing the whole project here:


I'll let @WillJac speak about the case because that it almost exclusively his work. The plan is to make the stl files for the case downloadable and sell the cards. But the cards can of course be used by themselves. On VCF Midwest we will show some working prototypes. For super early adopters you can send me a PM since I have some surplus boards in various design stages.

Nice - I saw the video yesterday. Any thought about adding mounting points for a FDHD?
Going to make a case version with no FloppyEMU and put mounts for a real floppy drive. Not sure on a spinner HD at this time as that means adding the power cord to power it to the picoatx.

Just got my Compact SE/30 board today and have been using it to sort through a pile of SE/30 logic boards - super easy to use and nice not to have to take up valuable bench space with a full chassis just to see video output. WillJac has been super helpful with support on resolving some prototype issues. Get one!
