Did you call that a retro-PC, or a GS in a PC Tower case?

I'm not confused by your project, just that it was called the "Mdern Apple 
IIgs", when it is really a PC in the case of a GS.  

Putting an MP3 player in a Victrola doesn't make it a Modern Record Player, 
it makes it a Victrola with an MP3 player in it.
Distressing a cabinet to make it appear antique does not make it antique. 
Hot-rodding the inside of GS case does not still make it a GS.
