Thanks, but not what I was looking for. There are specific and multiple links in fairly recent thread from a member of this ng. (P.S. I know how to use Google)

A few weeks ago one of the fine members of this group posted some pictures of the wooden computer enclosures that they had made many years ago.



Who are you? :-)



Where can I find those links?



Thanks!

You sure it was ahr? I surely don't recall seeing any such thing...

Thanks! How old would you say those are and how well did they hold up?

That was around 1986-1991. We had no budget for PCs but my boss said I knew how to get what I needed to make them and go for it. I could get all the "parts" I wanted but cases had serial numbers and they were not available as a "part". After a while I demonstrated we did have a business need for PCs, we got them and I took some of these home. They lasted until they were too obsolete to use. I never had the RF interference problems everyone predicted but that is probably due to the way IBM made the boards.
