Case mod--Mini-ITX into IBM PS/2?

[rhacquer]

I've never done any case mods before, but... my wife's old PS/2 has been sitting in the garage for a long time, and it just occurred to me that it might make a great home for a mini-itx mobo. Anyone have any thoughts about the project? What issues do I need to foresee--or might I encounter?

TIA!

This list might seem a bit obvious, but I'll write it out anyways

(1) Ports - Will the PS/2 case allow access to the ports of the miniITX motherboard? What about power switches and other indicators like HDD LEDs?
(2) Mounting - Does the PS/2 have the appropriate layout of screw holes to secure the board?
(3) Power supply - Do you need a new PSU?

(4) What would be the cost of modifying the PS/2 to fit a miniITX board? Would it simply be cheaper to buy a miniITX case?

There might be other issues to think about, but good luck!
