A relative upgraded to a laptop, and gave me his hand-me-down Gateway Slot 1. The thing is useless. Can't even salvage the chassis without major Dremeling.

A standard PS won't fit, either.

So...I'm moving the hard drive and internal modem to an old Athlon 1700 I have, taking up space. That chassis is only slightly stronger than card board, but it is metal. Almost as soft as lead, but not as heavy.

Just get a fancy piece of plywood and screw the motherboard to the plywood...
