Bondi iMac in slot-load case(indigo)!!!???HELP!!!!!!
You want to a) destroy a Bondi Blue iMac's future collectible status and b) stick a MASSIVE iMac into the case of a much smaller model?
Please reconsider. It may seem cool, but you won't be getting the analog/power boards into that case, and I personally don't think people should do anything to working landmarks in Mac history.
I do some left-field things, but why would you put a older machine into a newer case? I can see doing it the other way around - who would expect something like an G4 Cube running out of a SE case, but the SE in the Cube case does not really click. While they are both iMacs, and you *may* be able to do this, can you share some of the synaptic occurrences that gave birth to this idea?

... what Doug-Doug said: Why?
Why?Because the indigo iMac is sooo cool,because (1.)the color,and(2.)the simplicity of it as opposed to the original.OH YEAH...disco-inferno...the indigo is smaller?i thougt they had the same dimensions...Thanx though!
Yes, the indigo and all other slotloaders are considerably smaller and have a generally different shape to the original.
Do youself a favour... if you like the Indigos, sell the Bondi(they're going for about the same price now that they're all just 'that old G3 stuff') and buy a real one. The simplicity of an Indigo is more than just skin-deep; don't forget the convection cooling and uncluttered visible innards. You'll end up with a contraption sounding like a jet engine if you adequately cool a Bondi somehow chopped up and shoehorned into an SL's case- but you really won't be able to do it at all.
