After I bought my first PC (an Elonex 386SX with 64MB Ram and a whopping 40MB HDD), there didn’t seem any point in mod’ing the case; after all, it had cost me £2500 ! I went through several PCs before having the mod’ing urge again.

The next case I made for was a MAC. I was given an old McIntosh mother board and hard-disk  so, when I found an old industrial 2U rack mount case it seem obvious to mate the two. Not pretty, but it worked.

D Scope box.

My first PC case-mod, was the portable box for my D-Scope digital analyser. It has been modified so many times I’m not sure how much is left from the original.
