Possible to reuse MSI Wind PC case?

[hythlodayr]

I have an old Wind PC (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856167032) that still works, but I'm hoping it's possible to upgrade.

I recall the motherboard is not standard, but has anyone had any luck salvaging the case? Would a mini or micro-atx motherboard fit, or am I better off starting from scratch?

Thanks!

The existing motherboard is 249mm x 170mm. A mini-ITX motherboard is 170^2, so that would fit. You'd have to mod the case a bit. (Cut out the back for the I/O panel, probably add some extra cooling, possibly drill holes and install new motherboard standoffs...)

Expansion slots look like they'd be a nonstarter. External PSU would probably be a prerequisite too.

Unless you really like the case or are looking for a "project" you're probably better off doing an ISK 110 build.
