Migrating from a low profile

Hi,

I have a low profile desktop which i bought a while back as it was cheap and just bought a new graphics card & RAM for it.

Now im wanting to add additional harddrives and it just does not have the room.

So i was wondering if i would be able to migrate all its components into a desktop case such as the one i found on ebuyer

Would this be possible? Am i going to have to take the motherboard out the LP desktop and put it in the new case? Is this going to fit OK?

Ive never built a PC from scratch so i have no idea

Thanks for help!

Low profile desktop as in a slim desktop? If so, the PCI cards won't fit into the new case without new brackets and the powersupply won't fit either.

Do you have m-atx mobo?
your existing PSU may not fit standard mid atx case...
Have you bought the Harddrive yet?
Have you consider external hard drive if you just use for storage?

What brand is it? If it's a Dell, I'm pretty sure they don't use standard mobo mounts. I've got an old Optiplex GX240, and it only has one screw on the whole motherboard...the rest is clips. It's also mounted to a slide-out tray.
