I have to laugh.  (Not at you :) at me).  My GS is a VERY ugly sight.  I
have the cpu (no cover on it).  The cover won't fit for two reasons.  When
I replaced my battery (ROM 01) I could only get an oversized battery so the
power-supply won't fit snuggly..it's just resting on the battery.  Also,
I'm using my old //e Vulcan (not as the GS power supply), and the ribbon
cable is too short to run through a slot in the back so I just have it
sitting off to the right side of my GS.  I also have a //e Kensington
System Saver sitting atop my GS Power Supply so keep it cool.  That's how
I'm using a //e Vulcan with a GS :)  It's a very, very, very...ugly sight.
