Hmm... I dunno, I think the DN3500 case is a bit larger than a normal PC/AT
case... And I DEFINITLEY know that a PC motherboard will NOT fit in there!
I tried... Although if you're in the mood for some serious chopping, you
can cut out the back panel, replace the connector from the PS, add some new
standoffs(and cut off some of the old), and maybe a few other things and it
MIGHT work. But I'm certianly not in the mood to start in on my spare 3500
chassis... BTW, computer boards can be very nasty when you try to desolder
them... I tried that on my spare 3500(didn't have anything but an extra
disk and MB in it, the FPU went to my upgraded Mac SE), and I didn't even
get ONE part out, just a face full of PCB fumes(whatever those boards are
made out of STINKS!). Oh well... One other thing I somehow forgot. Those
things are HEAVY! I'd guess 40-50lbs for the CPU and another 50lbs for the
15" or so monitor(amazing how both weight and size have changed, the 15" in
front of me know even fits speakers in and weighs less...). Well, I need to
get going, I'm going nuts(as will anyone that tries to build radio
transceivers and spectrum analyzers without knowing anything about them)...
