Apple IIe Casemod for Sandy Bridge CustoMac
Hi everyone- my first casemod project. I'll be gutting the Apple IIe and sticking the following system in there:
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PGAMFS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8
Intel Core i5-2500K
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EBUXHQ?ie=UTF8
250w ITX PSU- From the Apex mini CustoMac Mini case:

MicroCenter 60GB SSD

Completed Steps:
1. Removed the motherboard from case
2. Cleaned it all out
3. Hung motherboard and expansion cards on wall
4. Removed power supply
5. Laid Apple psu to rest on shelf
More to come- planned steps:
6. Mount Gigabyte board + RAM + CPU + PSU
7. Make keyboard RESET switch work
8. Joy!
Other stuff I may or may not get to:
9. Getting any other functionality out of the keyboard- ASCII, not PS/2, so needs converters and a controller to work. See here: http://pjrc.com/store/teensy.html
10. Reworking so the back plate fits all nice.
11. Taking pics and posting them here Here are some that look like mine:
