I need help on which way I should go. I’m modding an old AT case to hold my new comp and I want it to look good when it’s done. I’ve been debating which way I should go about it. The problem is the rear of the case for the card slots and the back panel connections.
I was planning on cutting a hole for the back panel connections, and replacing the motherboard tray with an ATX one. Now only if I had a welder to attach it… I was thinking of making brackets and just screw the mobo tray to the case.
Anybody got any other ideas or alternatives on what I can do?
After I get this figured out I’m gonna cut holes for 2 120mm fans and a few 80mm fans here and there. Then spend hours sanding and priming, sanding and priming, sanding and priming… sanding and painting, sanding and painting, and so on…
Here are a few pics of the case. What was removed from the case was the HD rack and the part you screw the expansion cards into.
Thanks for any help.
