    Putting parts from old PC into new case...

    So I went ahead and got myself a BeQuiet 350w PSU and scrimped a bit on the case. I ended up with the Zalman T3. I've got to the point where I have everything connected up except for the cables coming from the front of the case. They don't seem to be the same as the ones on the old case...

    Ah, I see. So getting a new PSU will make things easier then. Well, payday is in a week so I'll grab the case and PSU then. On a whim, I won a Geforce XFX 220 graphics card on ebay for about £7 (before I'd read anything about case sizes, form factors and the like!). Once I have my new case and...

    Thanks for the quick response. How do you find performance of your current machine? Is your work in the OS satisfactory? Doing day to day things such as web browsing are fine, as I upgraded the RAM and changed the hard drive to an SSD. Video editing is a terribly laborious process due, in part...

    Putting parts from old PC into new case...

    Hi, Noob question alert! I have an old Acer AX3810 Desktop PC. What I want to know is, can I take all of the insides out and put them in to a larger case so I can improve some of the components such as PSU, Graphics Card etc.? As currently I'm very limited due to the small size of the case...
