I'll sell you mine.

Let's see, I seem to have paid about $1500 for it from Apple...

But it is a nice case. No beige case can touch it for 10 times the price.

Contact Marathon Computer. They do rack-mount conversions of G3/4 systems and may have extra cases to sell.

HOWEVER, I doubt you'd get the MOBO to fit and NONE of the ports on the back would line up. Quit being cheap, save up some $ and buy a new machine.

Oh come on. It's much more fun to build yer own Mac. I always thought it would be kewl to stick a 9600 motherboard in one of those. Only problem is fitting the extra 2 PCI slots.

Gonna take an industrial design class next semester. Gonna design and build a custom computer case. I'm thinking of an ALL translucent casing similar in design to Apples. However, I want to put a blue LED near the Apple to illuminate it, and some white LEDs to light up the entire casing. Gonna kick ass.

There's a thread in the Lounge where someone hacked a ADM CPU/motherboard into a G4 case. The site says where he bought the empty case from. Go search there for the thread.
