That's a big limiting factor! :) Why would you want to when any likely alternative whole machine would be no costlier and less trouble? Mostly, folk, put upgrade G3/4 cards in, USB PCI cards, Video cards, SCSI cards, faster and wider HDs... They might change boards for earlier models to be as good as the 7500. Essentially, the 7500 (I assume you want to keep this *case*) is nearly as good as it gets in our (this list's) legacy field...
