Too case or not too case
SithMaster:
If you have a dell dimension series case you want to scrap you could easily drill out the rivets and just have the one side to mount a mobo, psu, optical drive, and hd depending on model of the case.
I'm somewhat positive that trying to cut a pc case somewhat fast with a jigsaw will cause edges like that. Best to go slow and let the blade do its thing.

There are only a few things I have noticed. Noise from fans sounds louder with no case. Then there is Dust and Fluff in the fans. To deal with that you can just put a filter over your cabinet fans.

Honestly it's better to leave the pc cased. That way when (not if) the pc dies, you can just swap it out instead of unmounting a pcb tray, power supply and ect. Sometimes you have to de-case though.... there just isn't enough room in the machine.

Use something better than a jigsaw to cut it or you'll end up with edges like this.
Angle grinder or dremel with heavy duty cut-off wheel would have been much better.

Board and clamps make a handy fence.

If you already have the case and the space for it, than use it. If you still need to buy all the computer parts, than you can save a few bucks by not buying a case.
