Poll: Are you offended if I turn a dead Indy into a Linux box?
Hey gang - thought it'd be fun to turn this into a poll.  I've got a dead and cannibalized R4600 Indy that has donated various guts to other causes and now is basically a shell.  The Dallas chip is dead. The R4600SC module has been removed to be donated to someone who has a crappier R4600PC or R4000-100 early Indy. 

I'd like to move the guts of a Linux x86 system that I've got with a pretty uninspiring case into the Indy, but that would obviously require some modding to the sheet metal chassis and is an activity that cannot be reversed.

The Indy chassis has plenty of scratches and is probably in Grade C condition.  It's not a rare Indigo Elan or a Fuel or some rare Personal Iris.

Assuming it IS offensive to do this, what collector wants to come and collect (or pay for shipping) for the remaining husk? I don't want to be a parts depot hoping someone cares will eventually find it and restore it a few more decades!
