This is a computer which i designed and constructed to look like a 1970s data terminal. The case is built from 1/4" hardboard (similar to MDF), and painted with many layers of both gloss and textured paint. The computer features a 22" LCD display with a Plexiglas screen protector. Also, a mid-80s IBM 'clicky' keyboard was used which is great to use and hands itself well to the vintage look. Inside, there are modern computer components including a 3GHz Core2Duo, 500Gb hard drive, and 4GB of DDR2.

I am currently working on the instructable for this computer. For now, enjoy the pics.
