    Converting old tower to mini PC

    So my old AMD 64 4000+ has been sitting around for a year or two now and I'm thinking of taking it and ripping out all the hardware from the case and sticking it in a small form factor case that will fit neatly inside my tv console. I used to have my i7 box hooked up to my tv and it worked great for surfing/gaming so I want to try this out. Anyone have any recommendations for a case that would be good for this? It has to fit a ATX mobo, 8600GT gpu, HDD, PSU.

    What size mobo, that definitely matters.

    There isn't many options with an atx mobo. If u wouldn't mind spending an extra 50ish on a mobo u could set that up.
    I know you think your $14.99 per month entitles you to play the way you want but the rest of the raid's $359.76 thinks you should know your role.

    Your mobile phone has more computing power then all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man onto the moon. We launch birds into pigs.

    Not that small but if u are happy with it that is all that matters.

    Well it has to fit a full atx mobo but i think it'll work. 17.30" x 5.80" x 14.20" are the dimensions, I think that'll fit inside the tv console sideways.
