[Early Access] My Mutated Macintosh SE/40 is GLOWING

Today, we finish a long journey of case modding that began long before I found this 1989 compact Mac on Craigslist, already painted black with the case chopped up to fit a CD ROM and 1GB Jaz disk drive. Oh, and stick around until the end for a special announcement!

For Peter Parker, it was a radioactive spider. For the four turtles, it was a canister of green goop. For this lowly Macintosh SE/30, it was a fateful encounter with modding culture that led to this, it's near-final form!

After adding a ton of internal mods myself - solid state hard drive, 68040 processor upgrade, modern power supply - today I'm taking the cosmetics to the highest level possible... whether that level is beauty or gaudiness, though, depends on your taste I suppose.

All I know is that I love it, and I think you might too. So join me today in adding a wonderful MacEffects transparent blue case and a tasteful amount of lighting, so that we can all marvel at the heavily upgraded internals of this machine whenever we look at it!
