Not wrong. I've owned a Q700 with a Q800 mobo in it - in fact, I did the work myself. The Q800 mobo fits in the Q700 case with no modifications. It fits physically; its rear ports line up identically; it connects to the PSU with the same connector in the same place; it has the same number and mobo location of drive ribbon connectors (SCSI and floppy).

The only differences are:

- IIRC, the speaker connector may be different, so you have to bring over the Q800 speaker, or else splice the cables of the two speakers (very easy);

- The Q800 has three NuBus slots but the Q700 has only two. So the third Q800 NuBus slot can't be used unless you cut the appropriate rectangular opening in the back of the Q700 case (again, really easy).

When I said the Q800 and Q700 have the identical form factor, I meant their motherboards - obviously the cases/computers are very different form factors.

FYI, you can also put a Power Mac 7100 mobo in a Q700 case as well - works great!

Best,

Matt
