Actually, other than some of the low-end models from the
mid-90's, and of course the early compact Mac's, most of the cases
have been pretty easy to get into. Examples are the 6100, all of
the G3/G4 minitowers, and even the Color Classic with it's slide-out
mainboard. The current tower cases are a dream to work in with the
way the mainboard drops down with the side panel. Of course, some of
the most horrid case designs were those like the 8500/9500 series
where you had to remove the whole mainboard from the machine to do
something as simple as a cache or RAM upgrade.
