Posted by: Daniël on 2022-06-25 13:39:19 I'd be tempted to hack up a PC case for it. Maybe even a rackmount case for extra fun. Rig up a PSU and some drives, and you're off to the races with a fully functional Q900, even if it doesn't have that recognizable case on it.

Posted by: volvo242gt on 2022-06-25 20:23:01 Had one of the blue batteries installed on the board that came in my current IIci. Am using one of the meowToast adapters on the board that's currently in said machine.
