IBM PS/2 Case

I'm not where to post this, but here goes...

Well I killed my PS/2 55SX and gutted it (except for the floppy drive). I was wondering if it is possible to put a new motherboard in it because I really like the look of the PS/2 case and have the PS/2 monitor, original IBM keyboard and mouse. I want a basic system at least a PII and want to run a NT version of Windows (either NT 4.0 or 2000), at least Office 97, and have a wireless PCI card. Any ideas? Thanks.

General Hardware maybe? Precious little to do with Win31

I'm doubtful you'll be able to properly fit anything resembling a modern mobo and power supply into one of those cases.

I dropped a Socket7 board into a 'Valuepoint' chassis (486, PS/2 era) but I had to take some pieces off to allow access to the expansion slots.

ymmv

If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers
