I searched around and found others who have done a similar mod. Essentially the internals are mounted on a frame and screwed to the front panel, so the back is just a cover. I am not sure if it is designed that way or the age of the machine. Once the screws are removed, it was a little difficult prying the front panel from the rear. Removal of the two near the handle require a longer tool to reach in the deep sockets. Two on the bottom near the ports, and two on the top near the built in handle. There are only 4 screws on the back of the Classic II that hold the case together. I will emulate OS 9.0.4 on SheepShaver, OS 7.5 on Basilisk II, and OS 6 on mini vMac.
somehow Apple botched the IR remote support in Catalina, so to run something like iTunes or Kodi, I will have to boot in High Sierra. The reason for dual boot is the IR remote. Later in the process, I found that the GT730 card was a Kepler device and it did in fact work in Catalina, so this box will boot in High Sierra or Catalina.

Since it has an NVIDIA card, I initially did not want to install Mojave or Catalina, because of lack of drivers. I have successfully installed High Sierra 10.13.6. The original frame is steel, my frame is aluminum. I figured I could either sell the A- quality guts on eBay, or make an acrylic case to show off the old guts, so I did not want to modify the existing frame for my components. Thus I built a new interior panel to mount all my ports onto, and built my own internal frame to hold all the components.

Since I didn't want to cut the case for the IO panel, I had to decide how to fit all my ports in the same space. I saw another Classic Mac Hackintosh with a mini-ITX motherboard, and I thought I could do it too. I think there is a time for thinking and dreaming, and then things need to fall in place.

Minimal physical appearance changes (Don't mod the case too much) It is near complete, just some minor fine tuning before I call it golden. After a long time of searching for the correct sized LCD panel to replace the tube, I started this project. I came into possession of a vintage 1992 Mac Classic II and thought it would make a great conversion. Two were completed and sold, one is complete and in use as a daily computer, and I have four more shells to fill.
