   I wouldn't be surprised if there were some internal prototypes
   of the 3/60 with internal disks, but nothing like this was ever
   put into production by Sun. None of the 3/60's out there have
   internal mounting hardware for a hard disk, so there's not too
   much point in ripping yours apart.

   Plus... the weakpoint on both the 3/50 and 3/60 chassis is the
   power-supply connector. It will probably take the extra current
   of a disk drive... but it'll just flake out that much sooner
   (look out for the brown frazzled plastic and the burnt connector
   pins). This will kill your system.

   You're much, much better off going with an external disk.
