Nice shelves, there's no way to move it far enough out from the corner to make a few matching shelves to fit or a deeper matched unit for a stack-o-Towers between it and the wall? Maybe buy a second unit to bolt up to the first that's far enough forward to mount a Jewel Case CD rack top to bottom? Sell it as a feature, it could look really nice and if you have enough shelves left over it'd be easy to make angled shelves for her knick-knacks facing a pullout for storing smaller items, anything to appease MacLimitingMaritalUnit!

if not: :-/

The 6500 is the first one I'd gut and save all the goodies from to hack into another case that will fit onto the shelves.

I was going to say deep six the 8200, but it's probably a rare beast and the Crescendo/7200 G3 500 MHz/1MB is one of only two choices for NIB accelerators and it's the only Sonnet Card I can recall with on-board RAM like the Rocket had back in the day. Having that available for the 7100/8100 card would have side-stepped much of that series' limitations, but they would have had to make another version for the 6100.

The beige G3 MoBo could go into another IIcx/IIci/Q700 case easily enough and the 9600 case is about as cool as they come. Might as well preserve the largest case available and try to save one of the Beige MiniTowers, my choice would be the 8200 and put the G3 into something smaller and interesting or a matching sib for your IIci/650 hack.

Dunno, I'd go with the customized corner shelf unit, my ex used to love all the bonus storage I built into the co-op, she still makes use of the one she didn't care for at first. [;)] ]'>
