Yeh but the 7300 isn't the same form factor to the IIci. The 7100 is. The 7100/Q650 case is laid out in exactly the same way as the IIci but is constructed differently. I offered the two up together just before I sold a IIci and 7100 to see if they fitted and the only thing that didn't was the (*stupid* *stupid*) AV Video port. So the only difference is the back panel which I will need to cut but I'm sure I can do that without too much fuss. > It is now fitted with 2 HD's, a CD drive right above the floppy drive, > 'internal' modem and a crazy bright orange spray paint job.

Heh, well I was gonna put my Radius Thunder IV in it and play with Photoshop 3.0.2 (DSP Accelerated) if I could. I suppose that'd solve the problem with not being able to access the AV port too if it worked. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> Vintage Macs List Nanny "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
