I padded the inside bottom of the box with the thin foam motherboards come with, this keeps the computer snug in the box. I then measured and cut out openings for the attachment ports. Took about 20 minutes and works great. To change SD cards I just lower the flap. I’ll line the openings with electricians tape to make their appearance look cleaner.

It looks nice for someone who goes with nature :)

I didn’t order early or anything. Guess I just got lucky.

As for clustering.. I haven’t done any searching on things but I did see an article recently about a VAX cluster:

The Atari case, specially, gave me a idea of people making old console emulators to run on it…

Once serious production has been started and the demand has died down then I bet we’ll see a few projects online exploring this. As ever, we’ll keep an eye out and follow up with relevant articles! :)
