PC casemod - Vintage Floppydrive

I bought some thin client pc's a while ago. They're full fledged x86 pc's that can be used as small dos or linux boxes.
The reason why I built is to run 64hdd which is essentially a 1541 emulator. You can stuff the harddisk/cf card with games and load them on your Commodore 64. Before I had this I used a large bulky pc that made a lot of noise. This thing is silent because it is cooled passively.





There is plenty of room in this enclosure for harddrives and that kind of stuff.
If you like my work: why not give me an internet?
