The case for this Macintosh is Stainless Steel, with a glass window on the left side with a embossed apple logo etched in the glass. The front of the case has attractive LED's for every hard drive attached, and front AV ports to supplement the rear ones. (Only available for RCA due to designs) All RCA ports are gold plated as well as audio ports for higher quality AV.

The power supply is new and supplies enough for a nice Raid. The logic board is mounted on the right side with an extendable side plate, making it possible to open the right side downwards to gain access to the logic board without removing cables. Nubus cards are attached via a special cable in a seperate area, so sliding the logic board out does not affect Nubus cards. (The cable is simply a gold plated data wire from A to B, the Nubus cards have a special docking area on the top section of the case.)

The drive bays have quiet yet powerfull fans above each drive that sucks hot air into a tube whch is further sucked out by fans and blown out the back of the case. There is room for 2 full height drives and 5 normal heigh drives plus 2 bays for CD and CD-R.

The front case is molded to the slot loading CD-ROM drive, making it the classiest classic around.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I think that would be an awesome hack.

However the one hack I really want is getting those 060 120Mhz ColdFire CPU's to work in my Mac. Then we really would be flying high. Maybe a Nubus daughtercard would do the trick.

Comments? Suggestions? Questions? :)

The "other" Mac machine I refer to is the one that has been in the news, where he plans on selling Mac machines, and his friend made up a cool design.

I would make a design myself, but it would be very crude drawings, like flat representations of each side, nothing 3D.

But that at least I can do, so I may work on that. If I do get that done, I'll post that. It will all be flat images. But in some sense, that is easier to follow, no getting confused with dimensions etc.

:)

The front panel image is 800 x 1500. And side panels I don't think I will do but if I do, they will be x2 that size. (within reason)

So, I'll post some images when they are done. Gotta get the LED's fixed first.
