So I got a Centris 610 motherboard coming in the mail with a full 040 and a spare oscillator (for the proper speed) and I was thinking instead of mounting in a Centris 610/Quadra 605 desktop unit, I would mount it in an old ATX tower and the magical use of a dremel and some sheet metal, I can make it fit in an ATX tower or whatnot. I thought about putting two hard drives, a Zip drive and a SCSI CD-ROM, then throwing it on Ethernet and make it into a small webserver. If it runs 8.1 I will have partitions higher than 2GB via HFS+ for the data drives.
I would have to do HFS for the boot drive I am pretty sure (HFS+ only supports PowerPC for boot, right?) and then throw a bunch of my older software on it. Maybe even switch my webpage hosting to it for grins and giggles.
Anyone think this might be a good idea, or is it better to source the proper case?
I would need to modify an ATX power supply to get the proper input for the case, but I am not sure until it comes what connector it uses (AT? ATX?) so I will see. what I can do.
