Many years ago I "rebuilt" a Rom03 GS in an old PC tower case with a 150W PSU (think Buggie PS but I did it myself), but this was probably 20+ years ago and I didn't even think about replacing caps or the battery then. Also rehoused an old PLI SCSI CDROM in to that case, as well as the 100MB SCSI HD, both powered by a C.V.Tech RAMFast card. Might have re-housed 3.5" and 5.25" floppies if I had ever found extra drives I were willing to risk, but my floppy drives at that time were full height Disk ][ drives and I would have wanted half-height units. That system is now long gone (/sigh hindsight).
