New Case

xX_Virus_Xx · 09-04-2005, 04:09 AM

Im a pretty big noob with computers, I know some information but not nearly enough. I want to get a new case but I don't know how to set it up. Is there a detailed tutorial anywhere?

Thanks

should come with your case, in most cases you need the motherboard manual

Well I would like to see the difficulty of it so I dont waste money on something I cant do.

not too hard at all, depends on your mobo and stuff... if its a computer like Dell, or Sony, or something like that... dont worry about upgradeing it to a new case... their mobos usually take diffrent switches and crap and rarely fit into any ATX case

can't go wrong with a huge case like a FULL tower since i have heard cases of motherboards wont fit or it barely fits or PSU blocking processor fan and stuff like that or AGP,PCI,PCIE cards barely fit the length between it and the hardrives.

yeah so if you're buying from newegg it wont hurt reading their reviews as they LOVE to point out problems with the items LOL

Damn, I guess I cant upgrade because I got a dell dimension 2400. Unless someone knows some that work with it.

why upgrade the case?

I want to have a cool looking case with lights. Plus this would help me with learning the inside of the computer.

So does anyone no a case with leds(perferribly blue) that I can take my dell parts and switch?

mod your dell case..... swap the fans for blue LED lights, cut holes in the side to accomodate new fans....
