Convert a old computer into a stereo

Step 2Get the case ready.

Get the case ready.
First remove everything from the computer case even the power supply.
The computer case I used was a micro ATX so the power supply was in the way for mounting the stereo and power antenna, so I had to move it to the lower corner of the case.
 You will need to do some cutting on the case and it is easier to do this with everything removed.
Once you have it cleared out  you can  do  a visual of where you will mount  the different components before you start cutting . The stereo is larger than the  hole for the CD rom So you will need to cut both sides.
You can use the can that the radio slides into to mark the opening and where to cut .
I had to cut some other tin on the inside of the case because of the width difference of the radio and the mounting plates for a normal size CD rom.
 You will also need to cut a hole for the antenna and if you move the power supply you will need to cut the proper holes for that.
