Any other specific needs?
- Had a big question regarding making a custom PC case, I'm really into retro computer parts going into the 50s and 60s. I had an idea for a Bendix G15 style case or another room sized computer but had no idea where to start. Are there people you can commission for these things or do I need to pick up Blender/CAD?

I know alot of advice here says to only make this post for when you're ready to buy immediately, but I was just wondering at what type of things I should be looking at so that I have an idea of what to look into once I do have the money. Or I'll just make an updated post. Anyways thanks for any advice, esp on the custom case question.
