Wider by about 10" or so. I built a bunch of their kits when I was 17/18 before I went to college. Tried to make my own chassis and P/S but finally had to give in and buy the dg one. I had a 2.5Mhz Z80a, 26kB ( 3x8k +2k on CPU board) memory, an audio cassette tape storage interface and a Panasonic 12 (13"?) B/W TV cobbled into a surplus DEC VT52 style case that I bought from that famous (in the 70's) surplus place in Massachusetts. Poly Paks*? I can't remember the name. I kind of wish I still had that system. But after college, I never was back near home and eventually my parents asked if it was okay to sell it and I gave them permission. someone packed it up and hauled it off. I hope it's still out there somewhere. John H. Reinhardt *Yes, Poly Paks. Found a discussion <http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=200282> I also bought an old vector display unit from then, there as an article in Byte about turning one into a display and playing Space War on it. Never got it to work though. Parents sold it off either when I was away in college or after I graduated and wasn't at home.
