Your dad's rad, and your mod is pretty rad too: Custom 5-1/4" bay adapter to accomodate ZuluSCSI and mt32-pi OLED

That is a sweet looking setup! Usually I see that case model as a tower. Don't think I've seen many as a desktop.

That custom drive bay is awesome, too! Really smart use of stacking devices like that.

Uploaded the drive bay to Thingiverse.

I really like the old mixed with new additions like PS2 mod and SCSI, Midi, etc

Most excellent! I thought I was a reasonably good father but now I see that I'm failing miserably 😂

I love that case - the tower version is my AT case of choice.

Would love to see a pic. Cool that there was a tower version.

Nice build I love those little boards. I had a SX40 version when I was a n00b, but let it get away many years back. I am hoping to partially replicate with a AMD DX40 board I rediscovered in my old boards. It's not quite as cute as my old one or yours, but it will have to do. I don't know if I imagined it, but thought I had actually managed to grab one of the same footprint that was only an SX25, but it has not surfaced yet. I have obtained a rework station since I last saw that one, so upgrading it is on the table.

Here's mine. Actually this general design was used by countless clones, all varying in quality. I've had a few of them over the years and they're all subtly different, so I presume that the design was either available for purchase or several companies just ripped it off.

Haha, that's awesome. Had no idea there was a tower version. Main differences are 2 vs 3 digit display, and keylock. I have the feeling my particular example was later in the 90s when MHz were higher and keylocks were falling out of fashion. Build quality on mine I would characterize as slightly above average. I've seen better and worse on cases from the era.

Added the final(?) piece to this build. I finally was able to locate a reasonably priced, good condition, Teac FD-55GFR. Also added some more pics. Power supply is a Delta 300W SFX form factor.
