That is an interesting idea. Has anyone moved Beige G3 innards into a 9600
case? I'd love to have a computer with all the 9600's capabilities and the
Beige G3's speed.

I have not.
This works for the 7200/7500/7600/7300 mobos because the power connector
configurations are quite similar (although they are not identical) and the AV
card is identical.
The Beige G3 mobo has a significantly different power connector configuration
and the Beige G3 mobo has an AV transition card (which is a dummy or is a
modem on some models), which the earlier mobos do not have.
Not withstanding those not insignificant differences, "where there's a will
there's a way".
The only "drop in" is the 7300 mobo into the 8600/9600 case, and that works
only because the 7300 mobo is tolerant of the 8600/9600 power supply's
slightly different connections.
The 7200/7500/7600 mobos have the same number of power supply connectors, but
quite different pinouts.
The Beige G3 mobo has only one power supply connector and its pinout is
dramatically different.
