Compatibility of Powermac 8500 Motherboard with 7200 case

Does anyone know if a 8500's motherboard can fit in a 7200s case. How compatible would it be? I'm really wanting to dump this awful 8500 case.

The 8200 is a 7200 in an 8500 case... so I suspect so. If the ports look right, the rest will be ok.

Can I have your 8500 psu? I'm a PSU short :cry:

Yup, ports match except for AV, which there might be a punch out in the 7200 case for anyhow.

Nah, its just an empty case so ill need that too if it will fit too. Not that I can buy the case at the moment. Broke as can be

I... not sure the PSUs swap over. I think that the 8500 one is nearly a cube while the 7200 one is longer. I don't have anything in a 7*00 case (other than G3s which are different) to check.
