I have a old gateway 2000 case that’s has ATX motherboard screw holes. The pci card slots are in the right place. But the power supply is different but I think a SFX PSU will work. All I need to work on is the fixed IO shield. I’m not sure it’s worth trying to build a new computer in this case?
I’m not sure if this is a off topic question.
Here’s the case:
This I the IO shield:
Questa è una buona domanda?

I Love Sleeper PC's I have seen people use older case's but as old as it makes me feel Id say this is old enough to be considered a Sleeper PC.
you may find yourself cutting metal and splicing cables for I/O but if you want something as a hobby build trust me people will look at this PC and wont expect it to be running the new hardware you have installed.
heres a video of a guys IBM sleeper good luck with your build.

Yep that’s exactly what I want it to be like. I think the case is 1998 but it still should fit all the new stuff in it.
funnily enough I own a working Gateway Performance 450 and it look nearly identical to this except the 450 has a much larger case. I don't think I could bring myself to part it out for a Sleeper build as I still have windows 98 on it with all my original games.

I never knew how to remove it by I found this. it shows how, it also made me laugh. I was expecting him to use the screwdriver to pry it out or something. HIS IS BACKWARDS SO REMOVE FROM INSIDE THE CASE

you mean the IO shield? the metal thing over the motherboard connectors?

Ya. Didn’t know what to call it.

that is removable. hold on while I find instructions.

Well the one on this case isn’t removable. So I’m going to buy a Dremel to remove it and make it fit the new ones in.
