You can do either, it's up to you.  You can buy a complete kit from an outfit
called Tech-Specialties, 909 Crosstimbers Street, Houston, TX 77022, phone
(713) 691-4527.  They can even sell you a kit that allows you to put BOTH an
ST and a PC motherboard in the same tower case!  Pretty trick, eh?  One caution
however... if you intend to run a Spectre cartridge, make sure you will have
access to the ST`s cartridge socket once you've put it in a PC case!

>Did you move a normal ST or a Mega?

You can move either into a PC case but the SST (for now) is designed only for
the Mega version.  Of course, I think that's only because the Mega is the
only ST with enough room to accomodate the largeish SST board so if you put an
ST motherboard inside a PC case, that requirement goes away, I would think.

>Should I buy a used mega (ie would it make things easier)?

It's just as easy to remove the screws from a used mega case as a new one.
Tell me where you would find a _new_ MegaST now anyway??? (not a MegaSTe).

Sounds to me like you ought to contact Gadgets and talk to them direct before
spending large amounts of cash.  Their number is 303-791-6098.  Their phone is
often busy, though, so I recommend you contact them via fax at 303-791-0253.
