I've often thought about doing sort of the opposite, putting a very high end machine in an SGI Onyx or HP 9000 case, but these machines are so rare and expensive that I'd be a shame to gut them just for a casemod. I've only seen a handful of these machines in a ruined condition but those were rusty, mouldy or crushed machines, so the case wasn't usable anymore, either.
