I've been thinking about my old Power Mac 7200/90. Since it's been laying there basically useless for me for computing, I was wondering if it's possible for me to convert it into ATX-format. This summer I plan to build a gaming/power rig for next year (entering college as a freshman), and was thinking of which case to use. I'm wondering if anyone has done the conversion or has any documentation on 7xxx conversions, so I can get an idea of doing this stuff.

CHOO-CHOO!

I put my B&W in an ATX case. It'll involve some drilling, cutting. Not sure if the power supply will be ATX compatible or not.
