Unfolding an outrigger case

The Outrigger is a style of Apple Macintosh desktop computercase designed for easy access. The logic board is mounted at the bottom of the case, with drive bays and a power supply in a separate fold-out section that swings aside as one piece. This allows unfettered access to logic board connections such as the memory, Central processing unit, VRAM and drive/power connections.

Outrigger cases were used on the Power Macintosh 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600 and Power Macintosh G3 Desktop computers from August 1995 to December 1998.
