I think the beige Mobo would have to be mounted sideways to fit and I don't really know about the processor upgrade options. My Crescendo G4 is meant for my 9500/8600 and someday, hopefully, for the PEx/9700 MoBo.
I 'd save as many cases as possible. I'd like to use them as building blocks to support shelves for displaying the other Macs and PBs in my collection. Some of the case designs I really don't like very much, especially the IIvx-7100 series and beige G3 desktop cases, hence, the Quadra 700/7100 fision. Desktop cases take up too much display real estate that I'd rather be using for the 'ZaBoxen with fitted monitors, my PowerBooks and especially the Duos.
I've sort of fallen into the MacFurniture™ thing, as a matter of necessity at first. It's been eight years since I had to escape the Big Apple and I needed furniture when I got here. I gave up on the ghetto cinderblock shelving inspired, MacStack3™ a while back, but I've amassed a nice collection of Radius Clone front bezels and I've found three PC Mid-Tower cases to fit behind them. When the time is right for the MacCinderBlockDisplayUnit™ all I'll need is to have made up the sheet metal blanks and wrangle about half a day in front of a Box Brake. The front bezels without computers behind them will then become swinging doors on storage lockers for peripherals, smaller items, cables and spare parts.
Gotta take some pics . . .
