good news and bad news...
so I got my first desktop case some time ago, this one:
and I got another one today:
notice any similarities? what are the odds 🤣
also got another oddity drive:
someone please stop me 😁
...and now for the bad
I wanted to make this a surprise post at first... like "guess what's inside this case" but then I got kind of demotivated upon opening it up... I primarily got it for the case itself and all the disk drives.
it's some kind of apple II? clone... unfortunately it arrived completely busted, the package itself looked fine from outside, but apparently it got smashed and shaken around quite a bit... most of the expansion cards fell out and rattled around inside, cables got ripped off, loose ICs laying around inside the case, this has to have gone through quite some abuse while in transit.
unfortunately the case is also quite damaged, the metal is bent quite a bit in some places and the screws holding the front piece all got ripped out, partly still attached to pieces and the front is chipped all around, it's just being held on by the drives and a cable.
I hope the disk drives are still ok 🙁 one of the closing mechanisms doesn't seem to close correctly.
😵
I hope I can still salvage most of it.
