Links fine, just needs a slash / before progress. Nice TTL build with
sound/video, VGA, PS/2 (although in this context should "sound" on the PCB
be labeled "audio"? just a nitpick)
Regarding cases - for the X16, they went with the ATX form factor and
that's worked out for a lot of folks. The "official" X16 cases still only
comes from the UK and was something around $150 (we call it the "pizza box"
case, since it does resemble a box for a small pizza- giving it somewhat of
a unique personality). Many folks seemed to desire a classic "wedge" case,
to attach in one of the "official" keyboards. I consider the SOL-20 the
OG of wedge shape computers.
You can order decent quality carbon fiber off Amazon, good density that's
easy to cut. Here is one I made (although maybe not really considered a
case, but a "display shelf")

That link is bad. It is not good.
It is the lack of cases that sadly are limited.
People generally 3D print their own nowadays. And I imagine you can still
buy generic enclosures of all sizes from Amazon or eBay or Ali Baba or
whatever.
