Apparently it will take a while!

A cheeky Dallas bodge so we can boot and off we go

Cheeky Dallas mod and we’re off and bootable!

Just bought an empty Econel for £10 and spent the morning ticking the back of it with an angle grinder so it can accept its new 1200w PSU. Motherboard bundle is still in the post but should make for a seriously cool sleeper. Amazingly, it’s not the behemoth I thought it would be-it’s only 1” longer than my NZXT case and about 3” shorter! What do you think?

No Macintosh Plus was harmed in the creation of this-I bought it as a shell

met this guy at his house and had to pee as soon as i got there, then saw this. taken on a nokia so it's low quality but it was held up by a subway sign. not here to out him because i'm actually in love with this setup. back door “floor mat” was also a pizza box btw- again love the setup

EDIT: i said “back door may” and meant to write back door *mat. it’s pictured in the bottom right

Don’t worry, I bought the case with no innards- no Mac was destroyed in the creation!

Having found no proper guides anywhere for replacing the keyboard cord, I have pieced together bits of information and managed to replace the cord. I used a curly corded PS2 extension lead to replicate to look and functionality of the original. Check the photos for which keys need to be removed to access the screws- the keys can be prised gently in a straight up direction (they are push fit). Hopefully the pictures help.

This was clearly a mistake at some point on a car I owned about a decade ago but it’s always provided some amusement as the MoT certificates made me double take when I was flipping through before purchasing it….
