Back again, as I was hoping, I only needed to grind off the orange sections, she slid right in like she was made to be a Quadra 700 upgrade board. The mounting hole for the peripherals tower is in just the right spot, but I'll be needing to do a bit of surgery on the tower to get it to clear all those lovely DIMM Slots! It should be just fine.
An ATX hack, like the one olePigeon just completed will slide right in as well, but with a different power loom in place of the the original MoBo/PSU male/female deal. I may need to nick the corner out of the donor PSU where it will probably conflict with the stacked Serial/Printer connector, but that's no biggie, the VRAM DIMMs have plenty . . . maybe just enough . . . clearance for this to be an easy hack of the standard Quadra 700 PSU Case!
I'll probably grind the yellow areas down a bit when I get the chance, better safe than sorry. The rear end of the hack looks just like the shot above now, but the MoBo sits about 3/16" lower now that it's in the slider side slots rather than sitting atop them.
Sculpting/grafting on, the new tuschie for this hack will be the most fun part of all.
