Known quirks
- Hinges crack near the display bezel — WallStreet's Achilles heel, inspect before buying
- Two hot-swap expansion bays on the sides — unique to this chassis
- Curved black plastic chassis is iconic but shows scuffs easily
- Early WallStreet is Rev 1; PDQ (Rev 2) added 14.1" and faster buses
- Will boot OS 8.6 through OS X 10.2.8 — a true transition machine
