Question Dell Optiplex 3070 Tower Case upgrade?

[Kagami1004]

Hello, i want to change my Dell Optiplex Case. Currently I added Hyper T20 CPU cooler but I had to permanently remove a case bolt because I can't fit it in with T20 cooler, so now my case can't be closed properly. Can u guys me an idea which case will fit or should I buy new random case and mod it?

Dell prebuilt desktop cases = crapola....

Recommend you get a REAL case and mod it to fit whatever parts you want to put into it. There are only about 2,637,181.49 different cases on the market to choose from, heheheh.....

What are you doing with that system? You can simply get a lower profile fan for it, just make sure the fan fits in width without hitting that drive cage. https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-v8-gts-rr-v8vc-16pr-r1/p/13C-000X-00349

Even with a better fan the case won't have good airflow for use past some basic things. A better idea is to just use the system as it, or sell if and build something more suitable for your use.
