Default Need the back of a full or mid tower ATX

I am about to mod a case I have which is a really old AT and I need a donor ATX chassis (need the back of it is all) so I can do some slicing and then mount the ATX back onto the AT case so my ATX board will fit proper.. err.. yeah that it... And I basically need to know a place I can get one for like nothing or as close to that as possible or if someone would have some old junker laying around that they would help a brotha out with... Have some half backed plans for this but I think it will all pan out.... I like the case.. Its freakin HUGE and would make a good water cooled rig since I has so much room to knock about..... Argh.. i gotta sleep.. (3:27am) been up for some 67+ hours cant be good for you...

Twizted...can you fabricate one of your own? If you have the tools you can do a custom one! Sorry I don't have an extra case to send you...but I'm sure someone here in PR can help you out.

About the only thing I have at my disposal is a Jig Saw, My Dremel and a managerie of Drill bits and a B&D Drill thats about had it lol... About all I would need it the actual back of a case that has the standards (KB/mouse (ps/2) , 2 USB , 2 serial , LTP 25pin , game/midi , sound (mic-in-out) and as many expantion slots as possible (min 7 *I think*)... Out of town right at the second and cant think of how many PCI's it has... If it turns out to be better than expected (the whole case mod) I might make it the home of my P4 2.2Ghz but as of now its planned to house a Asus Mobo (cant remember model) sporting a AMD 1.2GHz but like I said.. Basically all is needed it the back of a chassis.. If I cant find anything else I might be forced to look on ebay but about all you see on there anymore is Prefab premod $%@#$! (better left unsaid) anyway Thanks

**EDIT**
Just a side note.. The reason I cant remember much about the board is I got it in trade (like most things I have lol) ... I will know more about it when I take time to look it up.. Just know it was a good deal (Have about $50 in it) and its got like 4 remote USB connections on board and IDE + a built in Raid controler 2 channel (which I will have to do some reading on as I know jack about setting up raid only know what the diff variations of raid are .. Its a nice board..

I don't have any such thing lying around, but I believe Directron.com has contact info for obtaining chasis and other parts (the good stuff pulled off damaged cases) at dirt cheap prices. I'm pretty sure it was Directron, though I'm sure most retailers would probably have something like you need every now and then.
