I actually used to have a black 19" rack-mounting Atari STE.
The main motherboard was exactly 17" wide, so I had to shave quite a 
bit off the two sides to fit it into a 2U box <!!!> and I took off 
the dongle slot, rotated it through 90 degrees and soldered it back 
on so it pointed upwards (you could do that). 

Included a more serious PSU, SCSI hard drive, HD interface, Export, 
duplicated all the MIDI and audio on the front and rear. 

Cut down the original plastic case to make a separate keyboard case.

I thought it looked cool, especially with the carefully-filed 
diagonal-ly hole for the funny-shaped ST floppy drive!
