The depth is longer by ratio than the real Macintosh Plus, so it isn't a direct conversion for volume. I'm sure somewhere in the CAD program I can see the real volume. But the CRT is 5.5 inches versus the 10 inch CRT of a Mac, so I call it 55%.

A CRT holy grail

Genius! The backpack is perfect for hiding the extra length. Side view (compared to a Macintosh Classic, the only 3d model I could find of a Mac at scale): Update: 2nd primer coat added:

PVM? If it's an IndexCube, just leave it be, it's already awesome!
