Nah, it needs to be either from a IIvx, IIvi, Quadra/Centris 650 or Power Mac 7100. The 7200 has a redesigned case, with a more curved front, and the bezel from it won't fit.

The drive on the front would be a caddy loading CD-ROM drive, most likely an AppleCD 300, which is a 2x CD-ROM drive. You can either find a caddy for it and use it, or you can swap…
