Anyone here have any knowledge about full on pc case modding? I myself am quite interested in doing a total conversion of an object into a pc case. Something along the lines of converting an AT-AT toy into a full on working computer case. My only problem is that I cant find anything interesting to do the conversion with, as all these toys that I could do it with are $100 minimum online, and as a 16 year old without a job I just don't think I would be able to procure something at the price of that. Anyone have recommendations of an object that I should convert into a custom case? Also does anyone have tips on how to proceed with making the case?
I've built about a dozen pcs before and have very basic lighting & circuitry knowledge. I also have access to my school's shop with about any tool you could think of, including 3d printers and laser cutting/engraving machines.

Why don't you 3d print something if you have no money, no job, no tools, no shit lying around, no nothing.

There is google for that, we don't do spoonfeeds with zero specifics.

The only thing you can fit in a AT-AT is a RPi. Even UTX boards will wind up too big. I know because I wanted to make an AT-AT PC, but I need more UMPH than a UTX board can deliver.

Start small and easy. Milk crate for a ghetto case mod.

Looks like it's not venting air that well.

Man that model was a piece of crap, I guess it's good for something though.

looks like it is a pretty low spec pc meaning that it MAY not need a really good vent or he just doesnt fucking care
