- The 3B2/310 and /400 motherboards are identical. You should be able to
- do the case upgrade just fine, although I'm not sure where you'd
- find spare cases these days. Btw, you'll need to put in the /400
- I/O cage (12 slots vs 4 for the /310), unless you don't mind a gaping
- hole in the side of the machine.

- Sure, I'll sell you one for $999, and I'll even through in this
- great little bridge :-)
- Seriously, a /1000-70 is going for about $15K at last check.
- I think that price is for an "unused" system.
