No. The 630's mobo is too big, and even if you hacked the heck out of the Perf400's case to make it fit (if that's even possible), you'd have no room for the 630's wiring harness -- which is required because the 630's mobo uses an edge connector to connect to all the other components (PSU, drives, etc.).Not to mention that you'd have absolutely no room for the aforementioned PSU and drives. Even the RAM would likely stick up too high to get the Perf400's top cover on. Finally, there's the problem of having no spaces in your post subject titles. This compounds all the diffculties noted above. Matt No rank Permanent 68k roommates:

Which basically tells you everything you need to know. Personally, i think that a Performa "430" hack would be pretty cool, but it just wouldn't fit.  -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5
