Could do it, I'd suggest ripping out the internals of the microwave so nobody uses it on accident or anything.

 

I had that idea once, another idea was put a monitor in the viewing part of the microwave and set the screensaver to a picture of food going around and around in a microwave in an endless loop xD

 

 

Oh yea, airflow probs won't be that good.

Would some holes help with that?

You could have worse odds... So i'd say go for it! Make a build log if you do.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

This would be the most amazing thing ever if it actually gets done. I support this 100%, would need some insane work and commitment though. 

 

Hollow out the innards, mount all the components, somehow connect the 'Start" button to the motherboard power switch header. Connect the numbers to a fan controller for different fan speeds.

 

Plus an easy door to access all your components!

 

 

 

This would surely be the most talked about case at any LAN party.

This would be quite hard to do but I think it is possible to do. But, you need to think that you would need to put a lot of effort in this porject in order for it to look good and for it to be functional as a pc.

 

The first big hardship I can think off is creating ventilation mesh. Seondly, you would need to pierce holes on the backside of the microwave in order to use it as a motherboard tray. Though, it could be pretty simple if you simply take the motherboard and just poke a screw or something similar in the motherboards screw holes when the motherboard is just held against the back side. Then, you would have to simply put some standoof so the pins on the backside of the motherboard dont touch anything. After that, I think the rest would be quite easy to do
