Decided to start a project. No hate please, just looking for help. Oh, and please no, "you might as well buy a whole new pc if you're going to use it to game" line. thanks. Anyway.....
I have an old desktop pc. I have removed all inside components. I was looking to somehow looking for help on fitting parts inside this case and making it into maybe a low end gaming pc or something close. I do not have any parts so i will be needing those. And if I do follow through with this, I will be needing help fitting everything in.

Here are pics of the case + parts that i took out: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

Why do you want to use an old case? We can't really help without knowing what it is, or measurements.

I'd get a new case. You aren't really saving a lot by not getting one. Also, most cases that come with pre-built PC's like that aren't standard. Meaning that if you try to put a motherboard in it the holes wont line up.

You cant get cases on sale for less than 50$

This is exactly what I was getting ready to say.

@OP: You'd be better off using an old cardboard box to house your components.

I measured inside of the case, the dimensions it says on that site, and it does fit.

What's my next step? any help would be nice. Thanks.
