Question With A Case

[Mrguy123]

I have a Dell computer but want to replace the case with another. Can I?? Will everything work right..

[kazaaliterock]

umm it should unless you dotn know what you're doign....and from your question, im guessing you dont know what you're doing

Everything in your Dell, will probably fit in a new case. The motherboard is likely an ATX, which if it is, means it will mount in your motherboard. Thats probably the worst if your problems, is if it is ATX, which it probably is anyway. Other than that the rest of the stuff will mount in smiliar ways and positions as it is currently in your case.

I would say it would fit for sure.

mr elmo, the 2 threads are linked,
he just wants our help in upgrading his old dell pc
my point in telling him was to keep him with this topic
i would never tell anyone not to post , I was refering to his current problem
if he has other pc&#39;s and other problems, Iwould encourage him to post.
sorry if you mistook my comments as trying to limit his requests to the forum
for help.

Make sure you get the correct case for your processor. It may seem a strange thing to say, but the connectors from the lights (on the front of the case) have different types of connections on an athlon compatible case and a P4 case.

If you buy the wrong case you may have to make some minor alterations to these connectors. Otherwise everything should work exaclty the same.

Tell the sales person what type of processor you have, so he/she will provide you with the one that also has the appropriate PSU.

If I were you I would be extra careful with the power supply unit because it is proprietary. Make sure you use the same power supply in the newer case.
