[SOLVED] Can I move my dell optiplex to a new case?

[662mann]

I have a sff pc to upgrade but low profile graphics cards are more expensive so I was thinking of moving it to a large one even if it’s just a larger one from the same dell optiplex series do you think it’s possible and if so what cases thank.

Which Optiplex model do you have?

The boards are usually standardized (ITX, mATX etc), so could be transplanted.
Dell typically use all-in-one connectors for the front panel etc though, so wiring up power switches etc can be a little tricky. Not impossible, but can take a bit of time/trial & error.

It’s the dell optiplex 1070 sff

7010?

A little unorthodox in terms of layout, but still forms a mATX shape/mounting and could be transplanted into a new case.

Yes, you can. Not sure what you're asking at this point?

What case do you think is best

Depends what you're trying to achieve, ultimately.

Any case that supports a mATX motherboard will work just fine.
