Hmmm. I Striped the dual PPro board from a PeeCee ATX case, made some
extra holes for the fans, especially the CPU fan, mounted a DEC PC164
board (500 MHz EV56 Alpha), modified the ATX power switch for the PC164,
... and most important: I got the board + CPU without the special Alpha
heat sink. The heat sink of an Alpha needs two holes as it is screwed
onto the CPU. A work mate machined this two special holes into a Athlon
heat sink for me. The SCSI adapter for this machine is a NCR53C875 based
no name PeeCee thing from ePay.

Does this count for you as PeeCee to "real-computer" case modding? ;-)
