So, I finally have the parts and time to convert my 7200 to a G3. Was told by several that they use the same chassis. Well, not quite as it turns out. The back plate does not align with the inputs, but that is easy to modify. The bottom supports for the mobo do not align and the support pillar to hold the upper level; well it's complicated. It is supposed to screw into an elevated metal piece merged with the bottom of the chassis but although the Beige mobo has a place in it for one, it is different.
I could improvise on all of this but if anyone has found a more elegant solution than a drill, hacksaw, and various other ugly alternatives, I would be happy to hear them.
Unless it's just a matter of 'I know I can make this work', the best alterative would be to get a G3 DT.
What the heck ! Go for it ! Improvise !
The result will be as pretty or as ugly as you want it to be.
Monster Garage it !
Not every case need to be solved by just buying another one.
Sounds like fun to me !
