I'm not working at present but an SS20 case would be cool!   :-)

Could do a full conversion on it just for fun.  I put a pentium system 
in a dead IIsi once, drove several people a little crazy.  Something 
about calling Steve Job's, havening me strung up, and must be on satans 
side... ;-)

If anyone wants to get rid of an old sparq system that would be fun.
