In a 7200 case? I think an 8500/8600 board might make it, though. A G3 Desktop board will, too, if you get creative.

a couple of years ago, I thought of doing a case mod, or perhaps more appropriately given my lack of skill, a "case-mangling" so I could install a Beige G3 logic board into the 7200 case.

I let "Olde Mac Milt" talk me out of it though and ended up buying the 7500 logic board instead... which, incidentally, I still can't find anywhere in the house. :-/

If you're doing a G4 upgrade the older board will probably be better anyway. G4 ZIF upgrades for the G3 motherboards aren't as cheap as daughtercard upgrades for the earlier models.
