Well my neighbour had this stuff sitting out waiting for the garbage man (I know, I know... garbage picker) and I was able to save 'em.

I've been thinking about doing some case mods but didn't want to drop $150 on a case then screw it up.

Do you guys think I can mod one of these puppies? The back of the cases are a bit butchered but no one is going to see the back right.

Comments appreciated... good or bad... the garbage man comes once a week.

IBM PC Server 320 case

I think the case was designed for a dual P1 motherboard and isn't a standard ATX setup. I might have to Frankenstein an ATX tray into the case. This looks like an interesting project... now I got to scare-up an ATX mobo tray... I don't want to rip my current case apart for the bits... Well this could be a long thread by the time I finish with this project. hahaha

Well, the other option is to drill the appropriate ATX holes into the tray. Some of the holes are actually the same. And if you use them for nothing else, they can always store your watercooling ;).

Ya, the cases will provide all kinds of cooling or modding with all that space... I'll post pics when I start the project... now where the hell did I put my safety goggles?
