The obvious next step would be to put it inside the case of a Pandora.

I already have a ZX Spectrum - well, a couple really - in my Pandora:

Sinclair had, it seems, a design tradition that oddly mirrors Apple's. Lots of brilliant prototypes, and I hope the Delete book, which is where I first saw this, hasn't exhausted the treasure trove.

Mostly Rick Dickinson, who was a superb industrial designer.
