I have to throw my hat into the ring. Unless the SE/30 is non- functional in an un-repairable sort of way, then get an SE, Plus or Classic which are far more plentiful. If you MUST HAVE an SE/30 case, which is the better looking of the two SE cases, then keep all of the working internals intact and sell them on eBay, or perhaps keep your eyes open and get yourself an empty SE case to install them into – they turn up on eBay all the time for MacQuariums – you will definitely make a profit on a whole unit. I assume you want to get started on this project right away which is why you don't wait for one to turn up now (which would also cost you a lot less in shipping and total cost). Be prepared to pay a LOT more for a working SE/30 – it is a very desirable Mac to upgrade and maintain functionally.
There are many tutorials around the net for modding old Macs. Have a look through this thread which summarizes them all pretty well. http://68kmla.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9191 On Mar 18, 8:13 am, "jacksonjh...@googlemail.com" <jacksonjh...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hello all, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. > > I'm currently bidding on an SE30 on eBay with the intention of gutting > it and replacing it with a shiny mac mini and a 9" colour lcd screen. > I don't have a great deal of experience with these types of things, > but fixing my RRoD'd xBox gave me an unhealthy appetite for monkeying > about with consumer electronics. > > Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
