Nope, more like these from Radio Shack used as inspiration for a Lisa-like Lisa III makeover:
Do either basic bezel form factor with a single, vertical Twiggy drive slot in place of the 8" FDD slot with the remainder of the bezel a 1080p TPD. Yout 9.& inch LCD would align nicely with the 5.25 inch Twiggy slot I think.
Your current case could be fleshed out into something like this one by herr Esslinger @ Company:
Shorten it up a quite a bit, sans printer with the display in a frogdesign inspired flat panel case and it could look a bit like this:
Had his steveness and the Mac project failed with the Lisa carrying the DTP banner into history, the Lisa III might have looked more the Mac II than its predecessors as happened with the Mac.
With acceleration, the new CatMacFPGA is definitely the Lisa III, so take its wide screen case design into the frogdesign what if verse. Such would be a Macintosh free, future forward SteamPunk kinda thing?
edit: a Laptop slot loader optical would take the place of the 8" FDD for function/looks and can stick out the backside, but a 1.4 FDD enclosure would be provided for side slot flexibilityThe Twiggy Slot would then be for looks alone.
Still liking the the notion of a full metal ProtoIII with hardwood feet.
