A Dell XPS died recently and it comes in a very cool brushed aluminum monster case - the case was unfortunately designed for a BTX motherboard which apparently only Dell embraced
It pained me to have to replace the case when I fixed the machine but I did
If anyone has any interest in the case its yours - The power supply is likely still good. It has a bunch of fans and just looks cool -The problem with it was that one day it simply was off and wouldn't turn on and stay on, unless I removed the 4 gb of ram, since its unlikely all 4 ram sticks went bad at the same time the MB likely failed.
Today is trash day and I was going to attempt to put it in the bin but wanted to see if anyone craftier than me was interested in it
here are some pictures from the web

here is the inside http://regmedia.co.uk/2006/08/30/dell_xps700_1.jpg
it has a fan between the 4 drive bays - which made it perfect for the 10k drive I was running
