Hello, and help me out

[WarZombie]

So I'm new to building and modding and the like, and I guess the best way to go about this is just to ask:

I have a spare Gamecube case I want to empty out and turn into a small PC. Now, I have no experience doing this sort of thing, but it seems like an interesting project to take on in my spare time. What parts would I need to make this happen, and what would be the best way to go about building the damned thing when I get started? Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and I'd like to say hello and hopefully the experience gained from this could assist in further mods

Welcome!

You would need to buy a really small motherboard to get it to fit. That's not impossible, but it's not cheap.
This website should have the info you need: http://www.mini-itx.com/store/
You would need the motherboard (pico-ITX size in all likelihood), some RAM, a power supply (the picopsu is probably your best bet), and a hard drive (2.5" laptop-size is your best bet). It wouldn't be a difficult project.

When making PCs out of leftover consoles, most people prefer the NES because it's big enough that you can use a Mini-ITX size board. Mini-ITX-size motherboards are typically significantly cheaper and do more than the Pico-ITX boards.

Thanks for the reply. So all in all, what specifically are we looking at here? DVD drives, other connections, etc. What parts would I need to get started? Materials list? I'm not experienced, but I know how to assemble, i figure it might not be that much different on a smaller scale.
