So anyways, later there was an experimental ucLinux and I eventually discovered Minix. Still, a Linus Torvolds replica original 386 machine would have a strong appeal.

My rig is in the black/green version of this case, it's an absolute beauty to build in, but it does get a bit cramped with an optical drive and 3.5 I/O expansion and a tri-fanned RX 480. Pro tip for this case, there's 2 screws on the top rear corner of the case under the side panels, remove those and you can pop the top & front open like a semi truck.

You can make your own IO panel by going to one of those custom sign shops and making one with the Aluminium foam core. You then melt the foam from the middle leaving you with the two aluminium halves. To melt the foam, acetone or similar products work. You can even have it with custom graphix laser etched and all that jazz. Oldest trick in the book when you're missing the panel or do odd swaps.
