The Mac Pro case on ebay looks very bad, there were better ones at the German ebay, but not now actually.
Aydinz: There is HEAVY rework needed to fit an normal mainboard and power supply in a Mac Pro case. And if you take a look at the back slots you only can use a microATX board with 5 slots, otherwise you have to saw parts out of the case. The DVD drives are problematic too, you have to rework the drive jeject trays, and if the positions for the mounting screws are correct then this is another question.
Here's an auction of the Mac Pro-like ATX case, here you can take a closer look at these things. I know a place where it's a bit cheaper, and I could do some modifications. Isolation, dust prevention, firewire socket - even custom LED colors for drive and power. The only problem is the expensive shipping, but this would be in any case, no matter if it is shipped from Germany or USA. Actually I have one of these cases at home which I don't need.
