Has anyone found a convenient box to hold or store an Apple II series motherboard and power supply?
I have a system I knocked together from an Apple IIe motherboard to which I added a PSU, a few cards etc. I've had it on a workbench, mounted on nylon standoffs, but it would be nice to put it in some kind of enclosure. Not looking for an original or current-day case (I use a USB keyboard via the RetroConnector). It would be great if it's clear, but not looking to spend a lot. Just a simple box would work.
My apologies if this has been well-covered, but my search skills are undoubtedly less than high-end.
I have just made a box from plywood using a laser cutter. I used boxes.py (https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de/) and you can input dimensions as needed.

Nice! I was wondering about clean ways to cut slots for ribbon cables and so on. I could try to freehand it with a Dremel tool, but it definitely wouldn't look like this.
It would be super cool if you could post the design specs in case other people would like to order one.
Here are the design files for the laser-cut case.
I used a keyboard cutout that I found in the forum, and boxes.py. The svg files can be modified to make additional cut-outs, etc.
Thanks! I am sure someone will appreciate that. I might take a look at it and see if I could adapt the keyboard cutout to fit a //e keyboard because I have a //e motherboard, keyboard and power supply that I may not have a usable case for.
