Although the "7500 case" and the Beige DT case appear to be identical, the bottom of the "clamshell", the back of the "clamshell" and the back plastic cover are completely different. A conversion has been done, but a hack job is necessary to accommodate the audio/modem/A-V transition card. It would be cheaper and better just to buy a Beige DT case. >> Need to know if the power supply will work with the Beige G3 board or not. >> Not as-is. The PSU is the same physical size, and is internally almost identical, but the external wiring is completely different. It is possible to convert a 7500/7600/7200 PSU to a Beige PSU, but it is difficult, requires special connectors and special tools to make those connections, and it would be cheaper and better just to buy a Beige DT PSU. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
