I'm planning to build a PC based on new parts but in old vintage case, like those beige AT mini tower ones.
Anyone have a spare old PC?

Anyone here did something similar?
I will need ATX motherboard tray with rear panel - 10 years ago you could still buy those - are they still in stock somewhere? mATX would be fine.
If not, I could just butcher some cheap mATX case and dremel out bits form it :)

Would love to find some case like this one :)

Made me think of my old Globalwin 802 case. I'm sure I purchased it from OcUK pre modded with several fans installed along with a fan speed switch on the front.

would be a lot simpler if you just bought an old beige ATX case.. my windows 98 PC is in a beige ATX case, that will pretty much take any ATX /MATX board. some standoffs might be in the wrong place
 
I was thinking of the Silverstone FLP01 retro case but measuring it up against my Kolink Satellite shows how much wider it is so putting some mini-ITX parts doesn't seem much point. Probably easier to 3D print a frontage for the Satellite because of hard it will be to get an actual FLP01!

Pi board in my old Gateway 2000 laptop might be interesting though.
