Subject: Powerbook guts in a CC shell?

I've been pondering building one of these power colour classics for a while now and I had a novel idea for one.....

I'm going to mount the guts from one of my old powerbooks (probably my 5300cs) into the shell of a pre-colour classic mac (perhaps a mac plus)....

I'm figuring with that setup I could have:

-onboard ethernet (via a PC Card)
-built in modem
-zip drive (via a bit of a workaround with SCSI cables and whatnot)
-external CD rom
-3 gig drive

If it works I'll let you guys know.....anybody know where to source just the case plastics from an old mac? I'd hate to cannibalise a working one....

Mike
