The case is probably big enough to build a modern computer inside of, if you really wanted, maybe even without permanent modification if you made a duplicate metal plate for rear I/O. That would make it even cooler.

Wow, a Mini ITx in that would probably fit well with a low profile cooler. That'd be such a neat computer to show off, a mini commodore looking creation.

Looks like it. That is ultra cool and the price seems reasonable. Sometimes people price items like this at absurd levels.
