Well it (according to the guy who sent it to me for free) wasn't like that when he sent it, but I don't know anymore. It was a major bummer seeing it all cracked up. Most of the damage is in the front though, the back of the unit is still pretty OK. I looked on ebay for a SE/30 front, and they're horrendously expensive. So I'm just going to roll with what I have until I can spot a good deal on a front plastic case.
