Hi,

I actually have to agree with onyonemac (no, I'm not an extremist, and I don't think he is either (though he's definitely more devoted to the cause than I am)), if the case is in decent shape, don't hack it up, cut it up or whatever.

As for the internal stuff, do what needs to be done; no one's going to be staring at it.

You could take the ports from the logic board (which is dead anyway) and set them up on some kind of PCB with headers to the various connectors on your PC motherboard.

The downside is that you'd have to find or manufacture custom adapters (or make up a breakout box as Trash is considering) which could be potentially more time and money consuming.
