The A1000 is a nice, roomy case.  A good conversion guide can be found here:

...and you can just go from there.  'course this was from 2002ish or so, so motherboards have changed a lot.  You'd probably want to get an all-on-one board, then a right-angle adapter for whatever video card you were going to install.

Also, good luck finding a right-angle adapter for an AGP port.

If you get a rackmount board, the newest ones cost $$$ but come with PCIe and right-angle adapters.  Atleast that would fix yout graphics worries...in the meantime you can use the on-board intel video chipset...


Oh good god. lou.  They're not made of fairy wings, gold, and baby's teeth.  They're electronic parts.   :roll: Check out mycableshop.com, mertiec.com or any one of the dozen plus hits on the first page you'll get when you google "right angle agp adapter"
