Ive always wanted a retro looking sleeper pc. And i have a dinosaur case that im not sure i want to do all the interior modding to it. Just need an opinion on if i should use this ancient case or is it more trouble than its worth?

It has rivets  :angry:

Personally its more trouble than its worth, but there may be guides on how to do it right. :)

 

This is truth. But rivets are evil. Choose what you value: time or money.

You could build a low budget pc or an htpc on it, it looks like you can fit an mATX board and you are done.

ASUS F1A55-M LX, AMD A6-3500, (2x2)gb Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 1600mhz, Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200rpm,
