Apple IIc Mac
Completed Frankintosh project - housing a G4 Mac Mini in the case of an Apple //c.
The original keyboard is rewired and run through an Arduino (Teensy) so it can be used as a USB keyboard for the Mini.
I've also maintained many of the original ports, and repurposed a couple for updated peripherals. For instance, the mouse/joystick port has been wired up to a USB port on the Mini. To plug into this, an M0100 mouse has been fitted with the guts of an optical USB mouse, wired to the original 9-pin connector.
[update] To answer some people's questions:
The IIc was non-functional when I purchased it from eBay. It was lacking a power supply and the handle had broken off. I wouldn't do this to a functional vintage IIc.
