All beige G3 l/bs are identical, but there are subtle and potenially significant differences between ROM versions and PSU daughter boards.

All Taco ideas are based on using an LCD display, and discarding the CC's CRT and a/b. Another PSU is used - a microATX looks the best bet at the moment.

Personality cards are variable - the l/b will boot with none, albeit without sound. You don't need the AIO one, if you take the video off the main l/b.

I now have CC shell, l/b plus parts, PSU, with LCD bits still in the States, thanks to USPS! :-(

Am about to start playing the 3D jigsaw game to find the best component layout for me, based on the l/b being parallel to the front face of the CC, with ports on the left of the case, looking from the front, and no floppy drive installed - though I may be able to install one at the rear, with access behind the usual removable CC l/b access port.

hth,

Stuart
