Those dimensions sound like the one I worked on. It wasn't an all-in-one
unit. That was one of the funniest things I ever did. I was swearing at
Apple, sweating and struggling to get the top off, which I finally did,
after removing the front panel. All this to add some RAM. Then looking at
the inside, I could see the motherbd was designed to slide out the back.
I've worked on a few more with that design, and now it just takes literally
a minute to pop the board out and add the RAM.
