Would I be able to use the case, fan and possibly power supply of an OLD computer to build a new one in order to save a few bucks? I'm talking Windows 98, floppy disc input old, just to be clear.

Case, potentially.

Fan? No idea? What kind of fan? Case fan? CPU cooler? Depends entirely on what you're talking about.

PSU, more than likely, no.

Not unless you want to ghetto rig it.

Il assume its an old office PC so it will have 1 80mm fan. No space to put that in a new case unless you want to keep the case.

Then you have the compatibility issue. Depending on the size of the motherboard that it can handle, it might not even fit. Plus, pre 2000 cases. Will look fugly.

Possible. But not worth it.
