Improved Sharp x68000 Raspberry Pi 4 Case

**10.04.2021:** *In use this case shows some serious deficits when it comes to actually using it with anything external. No USB or network plug will fit and let the case stay upright. Connecting a hard-drive is especially hard since there is almost no room for the USB adapter and cable. Expect to make special cables if you want to use it.* **29.03.2021:** *I updated a few of the models with some small changes to center the base properly, deleted the inner tabs since they were not doing anything for stability, and added a bit of a cutout around the place where the LED go.* This is an improved and fixed version of the old X68000 RPi case that existed since 2015. I changed the ports so they fit an Rasperry pi 4. I resized a lot of holes for M3 (aside from the center ones - for best result use short self tappers here) and added captive nuts. If the nuts won't stay in place add a bit of superglue. I added some fun detail to the too plain model. Now it has knurlling on top like the original. I also added holes you can light up with LED. The three in the left part can easily be driven with GPIO since the connector is right behind them. To get the pinhole-LED effect you will need to paint the inside of the case with some acrylic paint to block light bleed The right part has holes for the floppy indicators however due to how the case fits together you will have to use SMD LED if you want them in addition to the 2.5" drive that "fits" in there. To improve stability I added tabs and some matching grove to the base as well as moved the base attachment screws further outwards. I fixed most of the "off by .15" flaws but some minor ones remain so you will still have to work on a few parts with file and blade.
