I want to undertake a project that will involve a lot of swapping components in and out on a desktop PC. It will be easier if I can work on a breadboard instead of doing everything within the confines of a conventional enclosure.
I've breadboarded circuits (long ago, before computers were found outside "machine rooms"), and I've done my share of mucking around with PC components, but I've never done the two together. Just how does one breadboard a PC? What sort of equipment is used?
I think I'd have a pretty good "breadboard" if I took the back and bottom off a tower case and laid it on its side, but so far all of the cases I've looked at have a crimped or welded body, making that difficult at best.
