College project - the unity between an iMac and a standard PC

Would the following be possible?

To gut an old iMac, and replace the components with ones from a small form factor PC, such as the Shuttle cube PC.

This isn't a desicration of a funky Apple, it is a college project, so please, help me!

Thanks dudes...
