Super Dude
Can I take my old case and transform the back in to a ATX case???
[R]BENDER
Hey

Well it depends. If the case is a micro atx case(real small case) it would be pretty diffcult I think. BUt if it is a regular case with micro atx holes(I mean the motherboard holes on the back tray) then you could eather get a new tray or drill new ones accoring too your new motherboard biggrin.gif But be very careful

your going to need time and sheet metal and a dremel have fun

You all noted that the case is a full tower?

Could I make a back end with plexiglass or shout I get some sheet medal?

Can any body think of some way to take off the back with out cuting it off?
bishop245
plexi would look cool

about removing the back of the case is it attached to any other side with rivets or is it one piece of formed metal if its riveted then just drill out the rivets
Super Dude
If I where to remake the back and the center (where the mombo is screed in), what are the dimention that I have to make it. What I mean is so that any mother board can fit the case?

Find an ATX (or buy a cheapo) and just put it on and trace the lines, then cut.

It can....but if you are doing it to save money... don't... it will be a huge pain in the A$$... it could be a fun project, but if you are doing it to save money.,... you can get a cheap, good case for around $40
