While I wait for things to arrive so I can complete the PSU, I thought I'd progress the rest of this project.
Time to clean things...
The RF paint on the case is marked from the battery damage.
And a few spots at the top of the case
Hit it with some washing up liquid first:
Still ugly but not as bad, that's just stained plastic now.
The top grooves were super dirty
Cleaning in progress
Mmmm better.

The back was very dirty too...
And after...
(still need to use some isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the black pen marks)

No feets
I also started to tackle the surface rust on the drive carriers and PSU enclosure...
Got some rust remover gel, so far it doesn't seem to be doing anything at all (left it for a few hours already). I'll leave it and see what happens.
The label said to apply liberally so... Who you gonna call?
I also decided to try out the original Quantum SCSI drive, which is a 1.2GB model.
Hooked it up to my Q700 and ... wow ... it works!
Looks like it was last used in 2003, it has Mac OS 8.0 installed and IE 5. Not a bad run for it really.
That's it for now.
