Can't wait for the GPU and some more parts to arrive from the U.S. and China... oh well!

Great stuff, you must be very proud of your achievement.

I personally love this case. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but the case always reminds me of the Acorn Archimedes.

Yes...I think it's the extra keys...it reminds me (and I designed it) of the Atari ST and the Sinclair PC200...it must be the 80s boy in me. :D

Almost near the end of possibly one of the best kitted out X500 Evos, from Marios again:

What an excellent job sir! You made me proud! :D
