Disclaimer: building this involves mains power - do so at your own risk.
The power supply installation is difficult and requires a long hex driver to reach the screws in the back and bottom of the case, a flexible extension also helps.
The 3.5" to 5.25" drive bay adapter is from rmpel's FluxEngine-related work.
My exemplar is printed in Polymaker “Natural” ASA which matches pretty well with 1980s and 1990s beige electronics.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
