Feeling a little bit better today, so I rearranged some things to consolidate flat work surfaces, now I've got more room. So, of course, I started playing with the G4_Quadra_700 an messed things up a bit again . . . go figure!
Process report, it's really a bit of progress, but I won't call i that until the 7600 MoBo slides home in the 700 like it was made for it. ;D

I made pencil rubbings of all the protruding components on the "solder side" of the 7600 MoBo . . .

. . . created the clearance boxes to make room for the protruding components with about a 3/8" slide clearance front to back . . .

. . . cut out the spaces to use as a frisket . . .

. . . painted the affected ribs yellow, with orange for the caps (tallest) and High Packages (medium height) . . .

. . . here's the bottom of the Quadra 700 case before I fire up the compressor and grind the suckers right down to the quick . . .
