I've got a PowerBook 165c that, except for the case, functions reasonably well. I purchased a battery for it a few years ago and it gets about an hour on a full charge, and is a great bridge machine between my desktop (G5) and my Macintosh Plus. :D

But, the case is crap. I literally screwed it back together with some nuts and bolts (It's official network name being Frankenstein), and the back door is missing.

I'd like to see if I could restore this unit to its former glory. Did the 165c share a case design with any other PowerBooks? Or am I stuck only buying 165c parts?

Thanks,
