I built my first computer out of parts too. Heck, I still do that. The
only way I can afford to. My first Apple was a //e in late '83. I bought a
spares kit motherboard and keyboard from the dealer I worked for. Found some
bad drives, scrounged a power supply, and put all the stuff into a Wang dual
cassette drive case. The keyboard was detachable. The drives fit in where the
old cassette mechanisms were, and I squeezed everyhing else in under or behind
them. I still have that machine to this day.
