I get the search for things like Douglas Adams' IIfx and Jobs' Apple II and prototypes.
It just seems odd that you'd put so much effort and thought into what we found out was a version of a PC case crammed inside a piece of industrial equipment, as though it was anything other than a regular PC running regular software, built into the larger enclosure of a particular piece of machinery (which was probably so easily identified because every town in the USA has at least ten of them scattered around, often in fairly public places and in a job that's not hard to get).
It's a nice case, I don't think anybody will say otherwise. It was just... really strong insistence that it was involved in prototyping that was odd.

You could have done this with the retail version of this case. Heck, there are new cases out there that have room for all sorts of stuff. This has been standard in the DIY PC market for basically ever.
I was just confused by the continued insistence that it was something special and that it had to have been used for something like CHRP platform development.
