Project Log: Hybrid Twist

I have an old computer case, and if i wanted to absolutely waste money, would it be insane for me to hack the motherboard tray and PCI slots out of one of them (in one piece) and build a larger case around it that was 8 inches wide, 21 inches tall, and 24 inches deep?

2 hard drive bays side by side which are covered by 1 of the 200 mm fans then ducted to a passive vent on the removable side panel, with wiring done through a hide-a-way wiring panel behind the motherboard tray.

250mm intake fan on the side panel to cool the graphics cards, even in SLI or tri-SLI orientation.

A 120mm exhaust fan in the traditional spot next to the I/O connections.

A 200mm exhaust fan on the top and rear of the case (similar to placement on A. 900)

120mm intake fan on front above HDD bays, below 5.25 drive bays for general intake

2 1394 6 pin
2 USB 2.0
front mic/headphone
power button
6 channel fan controller

For proper support: what are you running? video card, cpu, m/board, ram, power supply, brand, wattage, any error message?
Will this PSU run my card? If you're having to ask, it probably won't. PCI-E requires 26 amps at 12 volts. That's a 650W PSU. Power Supply Info and Selection
Why is my CPU hot? Info on thermal compounds & application
