Had an old 17" HP dv7 (my first PC) in working condition but with a broken keyboard and dead battery, and three 2.5" HDD from family members' laptops I upgraded to SSDs. Since the parts had been sitting in a drawer for years, I decided to make a custom case and use it to play with a home server and display the parts in a shadow box.

This is a reference design since it's custom designed to fit parts for the specific laptop (see specs below), but maybe it can inspire someone to customize one for themselves. The CAD files are made in fusion. Feel free to edit and change it as much as you want, if you make a new design I'd love to see it (as a remix or post a link in the comments)

PC specs:

Motherboard: Motherboard from HP Pavilion dv7-3150el 
Other PC parts: USB ports and ribbon cable, power plug and power adapter are original parts from the laptop. 
Cables: DVD to SATA adapter (disassembled to get only the PCB), eSATA cable. 
HDD: 3x 2.5" HDD (SSD of the same size supported too).
