So I want to present information about the transparent ZX80CORE case made from acrylics.

Here some pics about the ground plate, where the ZX80CORE board is mounted on.

Mounting is done with screws from white polyamid and the ground plate has threads for these screws.

Due to some discussion on the german board, I want to state that the backside of the case is not covered.
The overall height is 25mm (1.0 inches) and there would be needed spare place for the connectors - so I decided to leave this open.
Anyway most people would see it form the front and not from the back and this should mainly protect from dust while allowing a view of the board. ;)

Hi Karl,

I would be interested in one too. What about the space for the ROM selector switch on the right side?

There is a drilled hole at the position of the ROM switch to turn it with a screw driver - of course. ;)
