If you're going to be upgrading a Macintosh Centris 650 or a Quadra 650
to a Power Macintosh 7100, then please let me know!  I'll give you $150
if you'll swap your motherboard and faceplate (and any other relevant
materials) with me before you upgrade, since I have a slow IIvx.  I will
then basically have your 650, and you will have my IIvx, which you can
then upgrade to a Power Macintosh 7100.

What's in it for me: I get an upgrade to a faster machine for a low price.

What's in it for you: You get $150 towards your upgrade, since it costs
the same to upgrade a IIvx as it does to upgrade a 650.  In the end
you'll be just the same off (except a little richer) than if you had
directly upgraded to a 7100.  There's no need for us to swap the case,
power supply, or any other components, so you needn't worry about
getting anything worse than you had before.  In fact, you can probably
take my parts and send them directly on to Apple, and they'll send you
the new 7100 parts.

I'd prefer to make the trade in person with someone in the Bay Area for
simplicity's sake, but long-distance swaps may also be possible.  Let me
know if you might be interested!
