Just to make it easy, I'll make some gross assumptions for you to shoot down: 1) The cases are relatively the same (some small differences, but nothing a little plastic and glue couldn't fix. 2) The drives, tube, keyboard, SCSI devices, and (maybe) the power supply is the same. For that matter, the case itself is immaterial. One could always simply install the guts into any old shoe box and then add an external monitor (although that would make the cost higher). Inquiring (and broke/cheap) minds want to know.
