I put a "best offer" bid in on a "Quadra 950 Case" of $15-n-change because the shipping was $14-n-change, figuring for $30.00 even, I might hack some electronics into it as it supports the other end of a table. I'm considering a higher table than my coffee table to support the 32" HDTV when I have company over. My coffee table is the 1/2" rounded corner-rounded edge childproof replacement for the sharp-cornered 3/4" beveled glass top on a simple wood base design I rippe . . . erm . . . adapted to my needs from a square design at The Door Store up in NYC. It's supported by a Quadra 840 AV and some matching PPC that I can't remember the spec on ATM.
Anyways, the box comes today and I figure GREAT, I've got some hacking to figure out in order to turn this case into something useful! I open the humongous box and what do I find?
A perfectly good Q950 that boots into a minimal install of 7.1 on a 500 MB HDD!
No hacking for me . . . the sucker even came with the friggin KEY! :-/
But it'll still make a fine second support for my HDTV table!
It's not nearly as cool as its mate, an Appleshare 3 Server w/FOUR HDDs and lots of RAM . . . :
But you do what you can with the hand you're dealt, maybe it'd make an interesting launchpad for my Rocket 33? ;D
jt: just can't catch a break, even when I try!
