It's unrelated, of course, but currently I'm debating whether I want to use a spare Commodore PET chassis for a case mod or not. On one hand it's just begging to have a modern motherboard installed, as the case is plenty roomy and would require little more than drilling a few holes to fit a Mini-ATX motherboard into it. But of course on the other hand... they ain't making any more of them. I'm sort of considering a middle ground where I go ahead and install the motherboard in it but cheating when it comes to the keyboard area. (IE, instead of cutting/enlarging the original holes in the keyboard bezel to fit a newer keyboard I'll just lay one of those thin "it's like a laptop keyboard" mini-keyboards over the existing hole and try to make it look as original as possible by building up the top with plastic molding that could be removed in the future. The original keyboard is missing so making a protocol converter for a complete stealth mod isn't an option.)
