#53If you replace each and every part except for the case, are you "turning an Aptiva into an i7" or are you just using an old case for your computer?
When he does it step by step, i would say: turn is the right expression :)
But he didn't. He didn't first swap the CPU, then the ram, and a few weeks later the Mainboard. It's really just "reusing a case".

#56It is always quite worrying for me to see something like this. People take a piece of tech which belongs in a museum and effectively destroy it just to get a cooler PC case.
It probably belongs more to the trash than a museum.

Obligatory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus
> The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. […] The concept is one of the oldest in Western philosophy, going back to the time of 500–400 BC. It is a common theme in the field of metaphysics.

#58Nice although this would not have been my choice of a case to mod. I'd love to and some day may attempt to do this to a well preserved SGI Octane or O2.
> well preserved SGI Octane or O2
please at least use a gutted case or something with bad boards. These old computers, especially machines like the SGI risc line, are not being made anymore. At the end of the day, you'll have a bog standard pc inside an old case that looks cool.
IMO, a much more interesting alternative would be to use something like a hyte revolt 3

Yeah, that's kind of a boring and not uncommon bit of hardware. I have an old Osborne that would be cool to update. Or an SGI.. or an Next Cube!
