Now that I have a spare MBD which needs recap before it would work again. I am feeling lazy and don't want to just throw it in the treasure bin ( my collection of old electronics and parts ), instead, I did this so I have a good place to store it while looking good on my nerdy wall.

Is that a Mono Turbo or a Color Turbo? If you need help recapping it, I can do it, no problem. Just recapped my Cube and my Dimension board.
EDIT: A Color Turbo - Very nice! Just noticed the three mini-BNC connectors on the video connector.

That's awesome. I have two 68030 NeXT motherboards, and I could do that with one of those. I probably have a spare Mac Plus motherboard as well.

Yes a color turbo! I kind planned to re-cap it myself and even went ahead with the recap kit. I would recap average electronics but didn't want to mess it up to the point of no return so opted an already serviced board from Rob instead :) Maybe one day I'll take it out of display to re-cap :) Appreciate the offering @Danyetman!
@eagle do share a pic when you do! :)

An array of historic motherboards mounted in square frames (say 9 boards in a tic-tac-toe pattern) would look handsome.
Pull out your wallet and get on eBay!

How did you do this anyway? Is this just a shadow box with the motherboard screwed to the back of the box? I need to do this with the boards I mentioned before.
