Guys, I spent months seeking for a similar sized baby AT case to cover this little boy I found in a former PC shop.
I even found the exact same... Hosting a full configuration for 700$ on eBay.
I tried finding an appropriate cover basing on its rear proportion (since the Baby AT format is the only standard I could identify).
My campaign being unsuccessful, I'm asking for any ideas you could have. Is 3D printing something to consider ? Is there something else I can do ?

Yes I have used plexiglass sheet years ago, had to cut to fit (and then paint it as close to case color as possible if desired). Find the proper thickness might be a bit hard...looks like about 1/8" for yours ??
Your case: you would drill two small holes on the top frame then slip it in, the bottom of the case lip holds bottom and use the two screws to hold top in place.
You could try first with some packing box card board to see if it might work ok before buying a plexi sheet....

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
