I saw this the other day and I think I could build a modern rig using an old IBM PC clone case. Using eBay and few other seller places it seems easy enough to get a case in good shape. I know cutting will be involved because a modern motherboard uses a completely different layout. I wish the guy had posted the rear of his build to get a reference.

Thoughts?

Here are the pics of the guy who posted his to /g/

I found this...might have to scrap this idea before it get's started. Found this on PC part picker.

OR...the guy who built it used a mini-itx board.

Holy sheet that's messy. I bet that thing gets hotter than satan's asscrack in a lava spa.

They're cool cases and all but I guess it's what you're trying to achieve.

Maybe if he used low power components like an AMD APU with integrated GPU it might work. I definitely wouldn't try shoving a modern GPU into something like that.

At that point though just buy something premade from minisforum and have the exact same thing without all the trouble.
