Immersion offers a much more even and reliable process, though requires a much larger space for preparation, and more H2O2. One word of caution regarding what kind of EM coating is lining your SE/30. If you have the shiny, reflective type, instead of the flat gray, rough metallic paint, then you may need to stick with the gel approach as there have been some reports of this coating leaching off the inside of the case during immersion.
This is what I'm most concerned about. The inside is gray, but it also has an oily/metallic look to it. Some of it is scraped away (from people opening/closing the case over the years) and it looks somewhat metallic. I don't want to destroy the inside. I'll post a picture... it's definitely pretty smooth, not 'rough' per se.

Do the apple logos just pop off with a knife or small slotted screwdriver? I've heard they are stickers or something... I basically just don't want to pry it off and ruin it.
