    Converting(?) Sun Chassis

    Been looking around for a new case, nothings taken my fancy and I happend to step upon a site selling sun servers and bits. Some of the chassis that they are enclosed in look very spanky, but I've yet to source just a chassis on its own.

    Before I start looking seriously for one, I'm assuming that they dont conform to ATX standards? Or at least most of them, no?
    If that is indeed the case (no pun intended ) then how much work would be involved in getting it upto scratch to put in a normal ATX motherboard, etc. Would it be a problem getting it to fit, be it motherboards, or cards etc?

    I know SG stations have been modded to work, but I've never seen a Sun done before, so if anyone has a link to one, then please post.


    Thanks

    Best bets if you can get a case would be to then get a cheap eBuyer ATX case and butcher it to get the ATX parts like mobo tray and drive cages.
