Back in December of 2005, I decided to mod my old CP/M Osborne Executive computer from my university days (I bought it in 1983). It was a suitcase style rig, with the keyboard folding into the case and thus becoming the base. My idea was to rip out the internal components and even the keyboard keys, so I could install an HDD in the cavity along with a nice AMD etched piece of plexiglass to cover the hole and a cold cathode tube for illumination. I would thus be using an external keyboard for this build. It was a successful design and I've upgraded it a few times over the years.
