Hi everybody !
Two months ago I "found" on the mezzanine my old PC , which I used at the end of 1990's.
Motherboard - Zida 60-CREATE LX-CT
Video - Asus V3400TNT VIVO
Sound - ESS1868 with FM-tuner
HDD replaced by CF card with CF-IDE converter
Dimensions - 250x230x170 mm, for FDD or CD-ROM no more place...

For new case I was use some parts (skeleton and back panel) from industrial enclosure.
All other panels were cutted from 2 / 3mm aluminum.
New dimentions - 265x235x195 mm.

In the second section of the case will be installed ATX-system.
This is not the final version, most likely, there will be a mini-ITX motherboard.

Some upgrades :
motherboard - 60-CBXICT1.00-00
sound - AWE64 Value
AT power supply replaced by ATX-PSU

Looks really nice.

Any plans to reuse the old front panel in any way?

Thanks.

No, I do not plan to use the old panel - its dimensions differ from the new case.
The new panel will be cut from aluminum.

A bit of modding.

Side panels.

Front panel.

On the left -CPU load indicator (analog voltmeter).
In the center - the volume control knob.
On the right - universal indicator on the decatron. It can show CPU/GPU/RAM load, volume level, HDD activity and other parameters (some effects with him).
