Hi, Folks,
I'm a never-ever poster here. Forgive me if I blow some FAQ'd etiquette
point.
I have a Sparc 10 chassis which is doing a whole lot of nothing, and I
have thought it would be cool to put a Pee Cee motherboard into it.
I would assume something which generates less heat than an Athlon T-bird
(1/5 the Sun's suface temp, ymmv). Like a Super 7 K6-2 550 which I
happen to have lying around.
Have any of you ever heard about retrofitting a sun4m pizza box for ATX
mobo uses? I have heard of people wedging NLX mobos into LX/Classic
pizza box cases.
Thanks for feebback on this project.
Mike
BTW, I highly recommend Sherwin Williams automotive paint for Sun
cases. Will not (aparently) harm the plastic on a SS20/5/4 case. My
SS20 712 is now a gorgeous metallic charcoal in deep acrylic finish.
