Compatibility & preservation notes

Proprietary logic/analog boards, CRT and mounting; neither Mini-ITX nor a generic desktop enclosure.

CRT and analog board can retain lethal voltage. Preserve rear vents, shielding and fragile case tabs; document upgrades before calling it original.

  • Record the complete model/SKU, serial/date label, board and bay/backplane identifiers, accessories and manual revision before disassembly.
  • For integrated historical systems, follow the exact service manual for CRT, power and keyboard assemblies; do not assume a board or PSU swap is standardized.
  • Keep original brackets, fasteners, trays, feet and front-panel parts labeled with the chassis. Do not force components into modified or incomplete specimens.
