Hey, who needs a case/box/chassis for your computer? I just test installed a few years old Pentium II system on my desk, and it works fine with the motherboard on a foam mat, power supply loose on the desk (after changing its internal fan even!) and FDD/HDD/CD also loose.
*wishes he had a digital camera to take a picture*
Now, I've verified this motherboard works, so I'll replace a similar one inside a box with this and possibly reinstall the HDD in the box. I remember some student had a computer in parts mounted directly on the wall, and people thought it was insane. As long as everything is grounded and nothing will interfer with the parts or electronics, I believe it is OK. Maybe one can have a glass cover over the motherboard to dust protect it.
