A lot of cheap computer nerds (and dubious dealers) go for old computer cases as they usually have the Microsoft operating System Certificate of Authenticity (CoFA) stuck to the rear of the case.
This is the authentication for a Microsoft OS to be installed on that computer. They get these cases, ring MS & tell them some hardware has died & was replaced, quote the CoFA numbers & re-register the OS in their name on a new computer.
Cunning and against the terms of agreement for CoFA ...but they get away with it.
One persons trash is another's gold!
