What old electronic could I build a computer in?

I'm trying to think of something to transplant this new PC's guts into, because I don't like its case (calling it a case is a stretch, actually).

It can't be too small, because I have to fit the existing ATX motherboard and graphics card and two hard drives and two CD drives in it.

I'm thinking maybe one of the old compact Macs I have. I could then try to reassemble the Mac in something else. It might not look great, though, because I'd have to take out the little 9" CRT monitor.

If you can find a big enough toaster, use that.  You can use a slot for the place to insert a disc drive.

Hah, that's an awesome idea.

I'll have trouble finding a toaster that measures at least like 10" by 8", though.  psyduck;

On my PC I built I spent most of my budget on the case

lol OS X skin.
I used one towards the end of my PC's lifetime. I uninstalled it all but had to a system restore because my taskbar would only come up if I hovered my mouse near it.

Broken NES or SNES? china;


NES is possible, but not with the hardware I have now. I'd have to get a much smaller motherboard.
