Hello,
A few weeks ago, after many years, I started a new project related to the Apple I. I’ve always wanted to design a proper case for my Briel Replica I Plus. It’s such a great product, and yet it’s just a board. I couldn’t leave it at that. I also added a decent power supply, so I can provide both 5V and -12V. This means old cards, the Apple II, or an old ASCII keyboard are also options. Here’s a preview of my prototype. Maybe some of you have some feedback. I’d love to hear it. I’ll post a few more pictures soon once I’m finished.
I have addeed the Briel CFFA Apple I card with 90 degree adapter pcb. So I have an Apple I with internal hard disk ;-)

Cool, very Sol-20 like with the riser. You may want to put a card guide or support for the card at least on the side that is close to the case wall.
I've finished my prototype, including the ASCII keyboard.
