Hello there.
I had recently got in here to ask a little info about the Bezel dimensions of the IBM 5150 Case (i've been helped a lot,thanks!).
A member suggested that i should post it here when it'll be ready,so i came back to do so.
A little info on the project:
The last few years i've turned crazy about getting an IBM 5150,the problem is i couldn't find one.
I decided i needed something more modern that could play the whole 90's era so i settled with a Pentium II system i made out of two,but i INSISTED wanting an IBM 5150,so i said to combine them both with a Retrofit in a 5150 Case which was also almost impossible to find.
It didn't took me long to think of what to do,i built one my self!!!!
It's identical to the IBM except of having a flat bezel,22 slices on the grille as opposed to 17,and has about 3 inches more depth (i needed to fit the big stuff inside!).
Total cost was around 10-13 Bucks on MDF and a week's noons of work.
Hope you like it,i do.
I made a video you can watch,here:
