Yep, it was me.
I used a normal off the shelf mini tower case & mounted the mainboard
on the backing plate with insulated stand-offs.

I also put 5 amp fuses on the 5,12 & -12 lines from the 200watt PS,
to protect it from exploding if something died...
Those PC power supplies are rediculously powerfull, they can
supply up to 30 amps at 5 volts on some of them...

I positioned the MB so that I can plug in a 4Mb PCM CIA memory card
into the slot, the 2Mb ram expansion onto the expansion bus.
With the option to put on an Apollo 030 (a600) accellerator card.

I picked the serial clock & data lines from the keyboard decoder,
to use an external A1000/2000/3000/4000 keyboard on...

Regards
