I've used perspective tool and rotated it with a guide as reference.

Don’t be afraid to start over. It’s a new chance to rebuild what you want.

Edit:
steps I did:
- increase canvas size, place layer at centre
- layer to image size
- first adjustment using rotate tool
- crop
- final adjustment using perspective tool

Thanks, I guess I didn't pay to much attention to the tool icons. I usually go to the menu, image and it only has 90 degrees. I see my mistake now. I didn't see - (Rotate Tool Icon)
Isabella you did a really good with the perspective tool, that is what I was trying to use but I would squish it every time. I better read up on using it !
dinasset, that is perfect !
I know it is a little rough (the gif) but I will scale it down.
Gimp is a nice tool for building a PC.
I was looking at a Thermaltake Core P3 and putting my existing hardware in it.
It's working out good.
I'll post a picture or .xcf when I'm done.

I got my case finished... at least the picture.
It's all stuff I have, just wanted to see what it would look like in a new case.

Under layers > transform it also has arbitrary rotation which is the same thing if you just want to use the top menu.
