Racintosh Plus – Rackmount Mac Plus
4 months of work just to make a stupid pun. I own a Macintosh Plus from 1986, I found it in the mid 2000's on my college campus on a free-to-a-good-home shelf (Mad Marc's shelf in the chemistry building) in great shape and with its mouse, keyboard, and an HD-20 external hard disk drive.
This thing gets pretty hot.I don't have the best AC in my studio, and this beige thermal generator belches out a lot of heat from the power supply as it drives that dumb flickering screen. This would require a computer model to work out all of the sizes, clearances, and spacial relationships, then to design the mounting brackets, front panel pieces, buttons, and other parts. To avoid putting stress on the plastic and causing breaks or cracking, I chose to seure all of the circuit boards using brass screw posts that would be pressed into hexagonal sockets with a bit of super glue to secure them.
