    Question Changing the Case

    Hi Guys allover!

    I've decided to buy a new case, but wondered : will it fit my mother board, are there any specifications or limitations to choosing any case?

    I mean, will any P4 case I buy fit ? or are there any obstacles?

    Depends. Is your motherboard ATX standard and the case you are getting ATX?

    The only problems i would see is that if your computer is something like a Dell or other OEM, it is not likely any standard size for the motherboard...meaning it wont fit in any stadard cases.. I cant be 100% sure on that.

    if everything is ATX, then you shoulnd't have any problems. remove all PCI/AGP cards and cabling and drives and such and then move the motherboard to the new case. you can probaly leave the CPU and RAM in.
