Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

four 3d printer I/O shields each with slightly better layout and options. the top is the earliest and has holes that are too small (the DB9 and DB25 are comically small). the next has the right sized DB9 and DB25 cutouts, but there is still a problem with the clearance on the PS/2 ports. the third one would have worked, but I wanted to shift the PS/2 ports half a millimeter and add labels for the three DB ports.
the back of a gateway 2000 G3 case with a large rectangle jacked out where the IO shield should go.

my assorted implements of destruction used to create the hole for the I/O shield. sitting on top of an old table cloth covered in small pieces of metal are: a round file, a triangle file, a pair of snips, a hacksaw, and a pair of needle nose pliers.

If you don't understand Bavarian German (or more specifically the Upper Austrian dialect), I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to translate these song lyrics.

India lacks specific policies or zoning regulations for overseeing quick commerce dark stores, which are projected to hit 5,000 to 5,500 by FY2026 end, per HSBC (The Economic Times)

The dark side of dark stores
The army of on-the-clock delivery boys, imperilling themselves and pedestrians, has become a familiar sight across urban India. They emerge, bearing essentials you ordered, from the hub that enables the ten-minute delivery—the dark store. Some 5,000 dark stores have mushroomed across India’s cities in the last few years, with wide-ranging implications on traffic, safety and much else. Who is responsible for their oversight?

It's alive!
The IBM 5150 (AKA IBM PC) just needed two caps on the 12V line replaced. The monitor had some plastic rattling around in the case. Both of those were pretty easy to solve.
