Talk:Macintosh IIcx

lack of internal screws
Technically, I think there was a single screw holding the drive bracket in place. That removed, everything else could be pulled out like jigsaw puzzle pieces. I won't want to put that in the text of the article unless somebody else can confirm it though. Uucp 20:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I can confirm that there's a screw holding the drive bracket. I had my IIcx apart today. (I suppose this constitutes original research. 8-))  As I recall, another cost savings was that the system did not have to be turned over or on its side during assembly.  The original Mac 128 design required serveral turns and flips.  Jayscore (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Dubious
From the article:
 * The new case, Apple's only to be designed to operate in either horizontal or vertical orientation,

I'd agree that the case of the IIcx/IIci/Q700 was "Apple's first" that could be rotated but not "Apple's only". From How to position your Mac mini:
 * You can place your Mac mini on its side and use it if you like. Just be sure not to rest the computer on its front or back side or you'll block access to the slot-loading optical drive in front or port connectors in back.

Obviously, this refers to an orientation like how the Wii is commonly depicted. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 20:16, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
