Can a 21" CRT sit on top of a q650 without crushing it?

The Q650 could take three of them if it could - that metal case is built like a tank! My best mates' Dad used a Centres 650 w/PPC upgrade card and Apple 20" CRT for some years, was a great machine.

Yup. That's the main reason why I put my Q700 motherboard in my IIvx case instead of my IIci. I would never set a monitor on top of a IIci at all, not even a 14 incher.

The 13" Hi-Res Apple RGB fits well on top of a IIci, but I wouldn't dare put anything heavier on top.

The Power Mac 4400 is the real brute though. You could probably put a 27" TV on it and it would be fine.

Perhaps one of the mods could post this as a Sticky item.

Wow. The Duo Dock can hold the most weight? That's surprising.

Only the Duo Dock II can hold my monitor.It is 70 lbs.
