now i'm wondering if i should try to find a 250 or 270 to upgrade w/ 
the 280 motherboard, or if i can put a 280c screen (w/ display case) 
in a 230 case.  if the clutch covers will work and all that.  then i 
can put the 280c MB in and the 280c screen.  is this possible?  or is 
this lost?  thanks bob
