Use a saw? Or are you talking about a desktop computer? You wouldn't have a lot of options without buying / finding new parts - what have you got that's too big?
You might be right there, I think that the mainboard in it's self is going to be an obstacle. If you have money look at micro- pico- nano- 'TX boards.

For a different case search the internet for "case mod", you should find some relevant ideas. You need a stable regulated supply, but if you think "small" a lap-top type battery might be your best option - this would make things more complicated.
Small computer remember... You probably could find a smaller screen, but if you don't want to buy a smaller computer - see what you could get hold of in the way of parts and post these as a suggestion here?
Yeah, it's the signal that matters not what it feeds to. I think most displays will handle a simple VGA - (this old machine can do a 256 colour display can't it?)
