AACK! What a painful thought!
While it may be an interesting thought, the Commodore 128D (from Europe) is an extreme rarity,a nd the Commodore 128DCR (US Model, metal case) is almost as rare (with a keyboard). These systems usually sell for well over $250-300 US. I can't imagine anyone butchering one, unless it's dead, Jim.

Actually, a more useful case swap for an A1200 (or even an A500, for that matter) would be to install the motherboard + psu + fd + HD inside a C128D Case!
The whole rear connector-strip area would have to be cut open, and either
(a) an A500 PSU stripped down and installed, or
(b) a slim-line AT PSU installed.
Possibly an A2000 Keyboard could be used.
Look up the C128D on a Site.
The C128 motherboard was fitted to the standard C128, and to the C128D which is a semi-transportable with a separate keyboard!
The C128 is remarkedably similar to the A500 in design!
The C128D resembles the A1000 in appearance, only wider!
