Yep, this is a hacks forum thread. That said:

Yes, 10" VGA CRTs are available that will just barely fit into a Classic's case, however . . .

. . . the depth of a Color CRT requires an incredibly fugly addition hanging off of the back!

If you had a Platinum Plus, IIRC, you could google the "BackPack Drive" for a far less fugly, but probably not deep enough rear addition to make a Color CRT work.

As far as decent MoBos for Compact Macs, check out my 6360/6500 powered Classic thread in the hacks forum. AFAIK that's the ONLY way to shoehorn a worthwhile MoBo into any of the Compacts, barring a MacMini or a PowerBook/MacBook kinda deal.
