Nah, it's called custom metal bracket making, my friend! The 3 LVD drives will sit vertically in the bottom two 5.25" bays (with the divider removed), surrounded by about 3 fans to stop them melting, all in a slide-out cage. The original top-rear mounted drive will stay put, with the other two Fast SCSI drives mounted end-on on the case floor near the side fan, mounted in another bracket. The PCI cards only get in the way if you use 12" cards or want to use the pre drilled mounting holes. Pre drilled holes are for wusses, I have a dremel and an appetite for construction... With the extra fans around the G4 card the thing will sound like a Hoover but it will become a true "Power Tower". -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
