Converting BTX case to ATX?

[Pocketfactory]

Is it impossible to convert a BTX case to ATX form factor? I have two Dell OEM cases that I would like to slap AMD-based hardware in, but naturally the BTX chassis is completely backwards. Is there some conversion process I am unaware of, or am I doomed to using Intel BTX hardware only?

Thanks

Difficult to convert if the case wasn't made for it like some of the Aerocool cases - but those start as ATX and can be converted to BTX. Looks like you'll have to get out your cutting tools and metal bending press...

The time involved could be extensive. If you value your time, by a Lian-Li for $99 and a good power source.

Intel may shelve its BTX introduction because it may not be economically acceptable and will do its best to iron out its dual-core overheating issues. AMD has the matter well in hand and until Intel solves its overheating problems, it will continue to lose ground as evidenced by AMDs huge market sales this past year. Intel says its got a handle on it, later results coming soon? AMDs in Dells? Well, Dell selling Athlon on its website.
Keep your ATX box.
