I loved the case of these computers ever since I first seen one. Has any one modded these to fit a MATX Or ATX Motherboard? I want to know if it's possible before I buy it. I want it to fix either a MATX Or ATX MB with PCI Express Video Card and ATX Power Supply 2 HDDS and 1 DVD Drive

I have one that I am in the process of modding. Its a great case, the metal innards come out in one piece making it easy to mod it without messing up the external looks. It easily fits most mATX boards, just not the ones that are extra long front to back. Maybe link the board you are looking at and I can let you know. It will easily fit 2 hard drives on the sleds provided, the DVD drive will be the hardest. I am going external on mine, so as to keep it as stock as possible.
 
holy blast from the past... i actually did one of these, long, long ago lol

i cant find the final pics, but here were some work-in-progress pics... its not very deep so you have to watch your mobo depth...

i have seen some people omit the metal interior and put a full size ATX mobo in there IIRC

That board should be just fine, it appears to be even thinner than the board I am using.
 
You might be able to use one of those Lian-Li motherboard trays some how.
