Hi guys, I picked up an Apple Macintosh Portable keyboard to convert to USB. Since this is a bare board intended for an old laptop machine, I decided to build a case for it. I went with an acrylic "sandwich" style case since I don't really have any CAD skills. The case turned out okay but I'm not 100% happy with it yet.
Full write up and more photos are available on my blog.
First of all, I really hate how bad the white case clashes with the rest of the board. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I selected that. I'm looking for options on how I can remedy this gracefully.
Some things I'm considering:
- Should I paint it? (can you paint acrylic?)
- Should I cover the base acrylic pieces with an outer shell of more acrylic? (better color)
- What color(s) should should I consider (I think a close match to the caps would look nice)
- Anyone got any other cool ideas?
