[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 821733, member: 56379"] This sounds like an interesting project...from a uniqueness standpoint...but logically it doesn't make much sense to turn a nice portable computer into a BIG massive desktop computer. Also, you won't be turning a MacBook Pro into a Mac Pro...You will simply be putting the MacBook Pro "guts" into an a large aluminum case that used to be a Mac Pro. Another thought...even a dead or "busted" Mac Pro case on E-Bay is still going to be an expensive purchase...and with the Mac Pro case being so big & heavy...it's going to cost a lot to ship it as well! As someone already mentioned, why not try to buy another MacBook Pro case off E-Bay? I'm not trying to discourage you from giving this project a try...it sounds like a Unique thing to do. But MacBook Pro's are still VERY good portable computers (the best laptops Apple currently sells)...so it makes more financial sense to keep it as a laptop. Just my 2 cents, good luck in any case, - Nick [/QUOTE]
