If I were running a business then I could open those pockets up but for home use, Ha Ha, never gonna happen. I am so happy with my setup that the only thing I want to change is the hard drives when it's time to replace them. I would like to replace the case with one that looks nicer but the current case is one of the more solid built cases I've owned.

Yeah, I'd say that's just fine, no need to upgrade.

We call that "Retro" my friend. It's all the rage.

Retro - when is old but good and functional , when is broken and neglected is - junk.
Is this a 2 way radio some sort ?:)

Oh no, that is the face of the computer when laying on it's side. The radio was gutted and reworked to house the X11SSM-F. It's rather roomy. The retro face allows it to stand out more like art than an ugly a$$ computer. Also when taking on a project like this you need to treat the rusted areas with a rust inhibitor so it doesn't continue to rust.

Are you saying this is yours ?
Who has this ? I thought that was a pic from internet that jgreco pull out of his sleeve ?

That's not rust my friend, the antiquities dealers call it patina :p

Hey, I just go with the flow. I wouldn't have said "sleeve" of course. :D

Of course not but it would look pretty cool.

Radio knowledge or reverse image search?

I'm an airplane nut, not a radio guy. Google reverse image search found a page with the image right away. Once I had the model number, Google pointed me at the history.

Thanks either way.
