New Computer Case

Mike11199 · 10-27-2007, 01:55 AM

Hello, I'm new to the forum and am looking to buy a new case for my computer. It's a HP a1520n (I'll try to post the specs.) I've heard that my computer may have some certain parts that only work in an HP. So my question is, will I be able to migrate these parts into a Cooler Masters Cosmos 1000 with all the parts still working?

Sorry if this looks like a mess and is hard to read...Someone post me if they need more information and I'll try to get some.

It looks as if your computer uses a MicroATX motherboard (correct me if I'm wrong)...

You'd be able to use any case you wanted, just take the parts out and stick them in the new case, where are you from, we'll be able to give you a hand finding a good one!

AT means a possible problem there since a new case will be ATX format not AT. The dimensions and probable need for a new supply will be a concern while most custom style cases will have some degree of flexible mounting for the board.
