Power Macintosh 9500 Disassembly help

[lamina]

K, so I've decided to dissect an old Power Macintosh 9500 I found...

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY DESIGNED THIS THING?

It seems I have to take out the entire motherboard to get to the RAM.

I can't find a dissection guide anywhere on the net, except for a forum post somewhere saying that the motherboard needs to be removed.

Can anyone help?

On an interesting note... now that I'm inside the beast, I see the signatures of some of the engineers (probably)... pretty awesome. I'll post a pic in a few minutes.

Doubt it'll show up.. pretty cool though.

Whoa, that's insanely cool. I miss the days when there were physical easter eggs inside of things like this! Sure gave it a lot of personality!
