Well, I got my case opening tool, and, by gently clapping my hands with the case in between it, I removed the back, disconnected the cables, and swapped out the SE's MoBo for the SE/30's MoBo. I upgraded the SE/30 from ~ 6 MB of ram to ~69 MB of ram (I had 4 16 MB SIMMS... that I ordered a year ago, waiting for this moment. 
) The SE/30 is now in the SE's case. It runs well, but its a bit quiet. No big deal, because the SE was always a bit too loud... 
)
The Hard Drive is still broken - in other words, it wasn't just a loose connection or a bad cable/SCSI IC.
Neither of the boards had any leakage capacitor-wise or battery-wise, but both had their PRAM batteries inside. The SE had a red one, so I made extra haste to remove it immediately! I knew it was dead anyways, but still... I don't want a battery acid'd board.
The SE/30 (in the SE's case) is now... a happy machine. But it still needs an HDD. I bought one though, and it's being shipped to me now. All I need to do now is buy a terminator - luckily, they're inexpensive, so it'll be no big deal.
Both thingies will need recaps... eventually, because they all appear to have their original caps... I think. Because they don't look like tantalum caps? Not like I know what they look like anyways... :lol:
I haven't put the screws back in, so I could, in theory, take pictures of the boards, but I'd rather not, because it's kinda difficult to take it out and put it back in due to the fact that my big, obnoxious hands have trouble reconnecting the internal SCSI cable. :lol:
Thoughts?
