What are you looking for with respect to the new "compatible" case?

Transparent sides, RGBs, modern look, etc...?

Budget?

Key is to look at the existing case and get a full sense of the layout and measurements all around.

Then look for cases that meet your requirements technically and aesthetically.

Read reviews, read the case's User Guide/Manual for installation instructions (fine print and notes matter).

Even if the cases claim "compatible with" or use other similar words - doublecheck everything.

Look for online videos regarding any case of interest to you. Some videos are terrible and may be outright wrong.

But you can still get a sense about the case itself and what efforts and hardware will be needed to change to that new case.

That board is eatx and you won’t have a io sheild as it’s built into the case. You would be better off Leaving it as is and saving up for a newer system over time like a ryzen 5 3600x system

Old thread but new here and searching the forums for t3500 stuff.

I also have a full t3500 board and I am using the cooler master Haf X I got for free from a guy on Facebook. Even as big as the case is, I still had to trim it to get the board to fit. I am still working on the wiring and other stuff but as of now this is what it looks like.
