the guick ugly cheap solution to try is ..simply remove internalpower
supply..thru hole in back where power supply used to be plug it back into
motherboard via that large rectangular hole...place power supply behind
(left to right) the ports..if your
place for having your apple // has enough room behind..that works..then run
your system saver that way...when you put the monitor back on ..no one can
see back there anyway...at least on my cabinet type setup..and just run the
cables over the // power supply before they snake off elsewhere...you prob
need about 6" of extra space behind you // to get away with this..but i ran
the lost gonzo bbs loaded with ramfast and twgs at 14mhz and other stuff on
a //gs upgrade kit of a //e with this from jan 1991 till fall 2003...i used
to have to run it with the lid off..but tried  this and it worked just
fine...
