Just got a new mini-ITX motherboard and need a case. So I have begun
looking about the house and found a PC Jr in the closet. I think this might
be the one with the memory problem. I do have another. So how big of sin
would it be to gut it and install a mini-ITX motherboard? I do hate to
damage vintage hardware, but is it really all that rare?

You, sir, are going to hell.
Peanuts are not that rare, but why gut one?

As much as I love my peanut collection, they are not totally that rare.
If you have one that isn't functional, we (the few people who love and
collect PCjrs) would forgive you for turning one into a modern computer.

I think that's the best metric for destroying something for a
Mini-ITX case. It's also the one I'm using, as I would like to house
a board in 40's Radio.

The local Goodwill has a 40s console radio sans radio for $40 or so. It's
