Thanks equill 
A pair of rather substantial bolt cutters removed the steel wire security cable quite quickly but the security lug will have to stay. One SE/30 is in virtually unused condition (sitting in RMIT for years in an Apple bag, decommissioned due to a dead 80MB internal hard disk); this is the one with the security lug installed.
Looking at the internal floppy + hard disk skeleton inside the SE/30, I could simply remove the floppy drive where the cards will slide horizontally inside this opening, and keep the hard disk in place, hopefully without having to hack away at the steel frame. Considering I seem to come across many vanilla SEs I'm not bothered if I have to slightly cut the steel frame for this.
I'll post some pics of my progress; the Powercache card was sold to me as 33 @ 40Mhz (thanks to kreats!), since I've not come across any of these cards locally it will still be a fine upgrade for the little beast. I'm not sure what you mean by using a 50Mhz (x2) CPU in this card?
