I would love to have access to some big-ass milling machine to make a unibody aluminum case, then anodize the aluminum in different colors.

Of course this would be super-expensive but with the right case design the result would be amazing.

Thank you for your kind words but Big smile Big smile Big smile Big smile Big smile Big smile this one was just a failure trying to bend acrylic myself. Hand cuted too.
Here you are some good ones:
This is a customized version from Palver's case built by MerlinKV who adds some nice mods.

This design is from Capsule5000, XL acrylic case:


My favourite one from Aivalahostia (is the same Palver's 3d XL design):

And finally my wood case was moved to my Artemisa MSX1 computer, because it also needed some clothes.

I hope you like.

Hi,

I made some modifications to one of Capsule5000's acrylic case designs to better suite my needs.
I published the design files and build instructions on my github just in case someone finds it useful/interesting,

Thanks.

Hey I'm new here but am in the middle of an Omega build and going for a separate keyboard like that in Soyod's above. I can't find his original post where he shared it. Does anyone know if those STL's are public? Does this forum allow you to send private messages?

I printed this one from Thingiverse. Very nice SVI-like design. It's sturdy and feels like a real MSX.
