Haha, there is more processing power in that RGB LED strip than in the system itself... Cool build!
@Michael_Brock Жыл бұрын
This and more! My low tier phone I am watching this on probably has more computing power than every main frame, mini and the few micro computers on the planet back in late 70s. The only difference would be the much larger input/output bandwidth across those tens of thousands of computers back then.

I personally think that a mahogany-primed wooden case with a silver Apple 1 logo would have been more aesthetic. But I think this is dope-even if the RGB lights are overkill.

if you watch "how apple 1 computer works" you see how david wanted everything to look authentic and close to the era as possible, but i think the glass and the LED kind of ruined the 70's look of it

Yeah he was clearly going for Apple's aluminum and glass look, it's just that a few details are throwing it off. The Apple logo being way too big is one, another is the lack of a black bezel mat under the glass. If he added black trim along the top inside edge of the box it would both complete the look and effectively make the LEDs recessed, which would be a lot less ugly. Honestly he might even be able to achieve that by masking off and painting the bottom of the glass.

I could be a jerk and point out this or that, but the fact is, you did an amazing job, and it's obvious that you and your brother have an immense love for old technology, which I respect and share. The clear top was definitely the right move, since the real star of the show is the computer itself (although maybe the power system in back should get some love, too?). Glad to know you'll be running the lights on white or pale blue. 🙂
@woodengamer 2 жыл бұрын
I am glad you went with the clear top. I was thinking you were going to use a frosted plexi, which would have made the build look essentially like a G4 Mini promotional display. What I really like however is the fact you embraced the initial concept, buy the board and build it in a way that makes you happy. You have done that!

For the Mobo Standoffs i probably would have used countering nut's first to hold the "screw bolt" in place if you ever take the board out again and dont want the screws to fall out. Mayhaps even Plastic Nuts (since there isnt really the requirement for any torque) to double as standoffs - but thats just me :D I know yall never take the board out again anyway :) As for the RGB strips: didnt expected them - mayhaps a small board like 1x1cm (yes im a metric man) to hide them? I know there isnt probably enough space, but i think it would look cool if you couldnt see the LED strip itself.

I want to buy a Replica-1 and make an aluminum case reminiscent in design of modern MacBooks, with a hacked Apple USB keyboard as the keyboard. Overall design reminiscent of an Apple II, wedge up front with keyboard, taller section at the back. One idea is for smoked glass lid so you can see the motherboard.
