Don’t know If I should chime in on this since I’m the guilty one on this casemod (and that is how I presented it to hackaday) but come on… I didn’t cut up a Atari Falcon or something…

Believe me I did try my best to get a new home for the Atari but it turned out there wasn’t a lot of animo for the classics.

If anyone is in need of those genuine vintage atari parts: I still have the PSU unit and Floppy left and am happy to donate it. I’m not a barbarian!

I’m very glad with my XP/Ubuntu space and power saving nostalgic PC – I can stack my CD’s on top of it just like in the old days (but then it were floppies) and it runs Xenon II like a charm!

Seeing a real classic gutted and some generic pc stuff thrown in makes me cry. In a few years this is just another casemodded slow slow worthless pc nobody wants to use but the Atari would only have increased in value.

FAIL! As nice as this looks I cant help but think thi is throwing away classic components to a classic (and ever rarer) system and in it’s place it’s had half-arsed modern components thrown in. Can’t say I’m impressed at all.

What a shame.

I agree, it doesn’t seem like much is left. I could be wrong, but it seems like even the case has been modified. Still a pretty neat looking result though.

Upgrade?! its a pc in a atari 1024sf case, with another keyboard, so even of the case itself there is little left.

So now you have got a really big keyboard case that just takes up load of desk space – BRILLIANT!

Yeah what’s been already said a lot in the above comments, it’s a nice case mod but poor Atari.

At least I hope it was broken in some way first, otherwise I could never do something like this even though I was a C=64 and Amiga 500/1200 kid back in the day.

I’m afraid the authors definition of ‘begging the question’ is completely erroneous.

stuck mini itx in a box. didn’t even get the old keyboard working with it. casemon, not a hack. Waste of old hardware, at that…
