What can I do with this? Everything in this computer is old as it was used for a DVR system (my Dad sets up DVR's for security purposes for small businesses). The case is huge so fitting things should be no problem. I'm mostly going to use it for gaming and school work. I'm not really the most intelligent in picking out parts but I do know the motherboard has to go. Any recommendations/places to look?
The entire rig is outdated junk. About the only useful things are the hard drives and the DVD-RW drive.
And security DVRs are generally purpose built with proprietary parts. Unless the case that it resides in is an off the shelf part, then you're going to have to buy pretty much new everything.

The case seems fine though, aside from their being no labeling. Would I really have to buy a new case?

For $30 you can get a decent case such as a source 210.
