A Kickstarter-style project to make a replica Apple II case to hold a
modern Windows (or Hackintosh or Linux) PC's electronics ...


Raadition: APPlE II in back, Retro Computer Case
------------------------------------------------
Raadition is a dream for long-time Apple fans. while using modern
high-end standardized components.

It's appearance is the perfect copy of the Apple II and you can
install the ATX motherboard and any size graphics card inside.
The chassis has a 68-key cherry MX-blue.red.black.brown keyboard.
Cooling air duct through the new improved design, has a high
cooling efficiency.

Might be a good, if expensive, idea for those wanting a more realistic
looking option for their Apple II emalution. :-)

I can't see Apple's lawyers allowing this as it would expose them significantly for not protecting their brand. The guy even says things like, "perfect copy of the Apple II".

Even back in the late seventies and early eighties you could buy electronic-typewriter/computer cases just like the Apple cases that had no logo area on the cover/lid, so Apple Computer, Inc. may not hold the patent on the cases.

Any individual that wanted to do it them-self [damn spell checker!] could build their own electronic-typewriter/computer using that case--available at electronic supply stores.
