I’ve recently bought a nice old AT case to refurbish it as a new “Home” for my 486DX.
After retrobrighting* the front and painting the hood I’ve noticed that it requires some special mounting rails for all the drives (both 3.5" and 5.25").
First I’ve tried some rails from a fujitsu case I had lying around but they didn’t fit properly (with no chance to modify).
I took measure and am looking now for the proper rails (before I start improvising).
Please find some images below …
Hight: approx. 25mm
Width: approx. 4mm
Length: ??
Does anyone know that case and have an idea what specific rails I need?
Or, if anyone has a similar case, a image of the rails (with measures) would do as well!
(maybe my neighbor with his 3D printer can help me)
* BTW: this time I’ve used a black builders tub (covered with a transparent bag) with liquid Peroxide solution and it worked far better(!) than the paste I’ve used until.
You’l need a lot of liquid (approx 10 liters, thinned to 3%), but I’ve filled the remaining liquid in two canisters for later reuse.
