I say put it in a PSU case. Then put that PSU in a full tower PC.

It would look like a dual PSU mod, but it would actually be a dual PC.

PC in a PC.

My next idea. Build one in a DVD drive. Every time you want to change the CPU just hit the Eject button.

Hey thanks for posting your idea! It is not everyday that you get a chance to win a case mod by one on the masters himself. I mean who wouldn't want an original Bill Owen / MNPCTech case!
