Muddled Mac mangler seeks solutions from learned listers:
1. What's the best way to stick those little black rubber feet back on the bottom of the PowerMac (models 7200 to 9600) case?
@@@@@@
I do know that the glue on 3M double sided tape is not strong enough. I am considering either cyanoacrylate ( CA or superglue ) or an epoxy.
30 minute epoxy has a stronger bond. But epoxy is messy to use. The new adhesives used to hang objects on the wall are a possibility but they are
expensive. Whatever you use roughen the metal in the foot area before gluing.

2. What's a good glue to repair the black plastic leg that supports the power supply/drive bay when it is opened out for maintenance (models 7200 and 7300), or bits of brittle beige plastic that snap of aging PowerMac cases?
Black plastic ? All the ones I have seen are beige. Well anyway I would go to a hobby shop and get a liquid plastic cement which has a lot of MEK in it. This melts the plastic together somewhat.Assuming it is similar to styrene. There is also a glue sold in electronics parts stores meant to repair radio cases . I cannot remember the name. I would also add plastic to reinforce the joint. And the fumes from these glues are very strong. It may be easier to look on the swap list for a leg.
