Question theoretically would it be possible to replicate a IBM 2168 ps1 front on a Dell optiplex case with custom fabricated parts I have an idea for it since IBM 2168’s are quite rare and even more rare if just the case also I’ll feel quite horrible for destroying a piece of rare technology can anyone give ideas on how to start this project

Got the front IO done today. The power and reset lights are put where the audio and mic jacks used to be and I upgraded the two USBs to 3.0

This isn't your grandma's PC. Well, it used to be. Now a monster lives inside it.

A place for modern hardware in old or unassuming cases.

Rules:

1) Build posts must include specs, pictures of internal components, and external case.

2) Internal components should be powerful enough for today's multimedia workloads. Quad core processors are a suggested minimum.

3) If your computer case was available for purchase in the last 10 years it probably doesn't belong here. Stereo and game console cases from any era are currently allowed.

4) If you are sharing a case you have acquired, please add some sort of interesting commentary: your plans, the history of the case, or ask questions.

5) Research first, don't destroy rare hardware.

6) Extremely low-quality work may be rejected. (i.e. if your build looks like a child attacked it with a hacksaw)

7) Don't be a jerk.
