    I was wondering if a CF- 30 or 31 motherboard would fit in my cf-29 case. I know it's a long shot, but no harm in asking.

    Guess I'll just have to break down and buy a CF-30, The support for XP will end in 2014 and I just figured I would try updating the easiest way I could. . where is the thread about running widows 7 on a cf-29. I couldn't find it.

    With a sawzall and a gallon of rtv, I can make it fit and be waterproof. It "might" look a tiny bit ugly.

    CF-30 is a good machine. I got one to replace my CF-29. Just keep in mind the Mk1 is core duo. So it is limited to 32 bit OS because of the CPU. So if you want 64 bit you will have to get a Mk2 or up.
