    You should use the case to make a high powered PC. It's certainly big enough for it.

    The first hard drive i ever took apart was from a DEC server. It was the size of a small refrigerator and it had removable platters. The platters were the size of a vinyl record and there were many platters per spindle. It was worth the better part of a mil but when I got to it the thing had been exposed to the elements and the platters were tarnished.
