Seeking info --- mini-tower case for IIgs CPU.

            PUTTING A IIGS INTO A MINI-TOWER CASE
            =====================================

A computer store in Albuquerque is selling very clean "mini-tower" cases
for $40 each, with power supply included.

I'm busy with other projects right now, but would like to "tower-ize" a
IIgs CPU this summer.

I've ordered m/f ADB extension cables already for the keyboard.  These
seem necessary to run the extra distance for the keyboard.

Attaching Bugg-Power cable attachment to the power supply will be easy.
I could also install a DC 12 volt fan in the casing to blow air around.

Can a joystick extension cable be constructed???

But surely there are other problems to overcome.  Can Apple II disk drives
be installed in the bays?  Will they fit?   I have several half-height
Apple 5.25" drives but dont know if they cab be daisy chained.

What about the support of interface cards when tilted sideways?

Is the mini-tower size big enough for the IIgs, two 3.5" drives, and two
5.25" drives???   I've heard that tower cases vare in three sizes: mini -
medium - large.

If there is a IIgs - TOWER  FAQ file anywhere, could someone e-mail it to
me at:
