While thinking of what I can do with an old PC I have, I contemplated modifying it. It's a Dell XPS 400. This was their stab into the BTX market, and they went back to ATX. I'm wondering if I can modify this case and make it ATX, thus putting in a new motherboard/CPU/power supply, etc. I'm basically in love with the case, it's built like a steel tank, and would like to build a new computer inside of it.

Any ideas?

Unless you find a way to mount an ATX board on the other side of the case, I don't see how...Dell's are so damn proprietary.
