I need help about buying a new case for my prebuilt lenovo desktop.

Good Day!

2 years ago I bought Lenovo H50-55 AMD A10-7800 R7,


Recently I bought the following parts for upgrade:

EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W, Power Supply 100-W1-0500-K3

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB SC GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 3GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC), 03G-P...


It seems to work really well, the only problem im having is the chassis being too small rendering it impossible to do a proper cable management, i also wanted to improve the airflow since the case doesnt provide much fan upgrades. I wanted to buy a new chassis.



Now my question is will the mobo be able to fit in to any of the cases available online? or is it exclusie to this case only?

Mobo: LENOVO model: Bantry CRB v: 31900058 STDMobo: LENOVO model: Bantry CRB v: 31900058 STD


Thank you for who ever can help me!

Even though the motherboard appears the be a standard Micro ATX, some of the mounting holes will not align with the mounting holes of a standard case.
You can take a look at standard motherboard sizes and layout here

Thank you for your reply.

Will it still be viable? Most motherboards will function correctly even without one or more of the screws, but do you recommend it? Thanks for your help

I have placed proprietary motherboards on standard cases but I made sure to secure them by either making holes in the case to match the motherboard's or use hot glue where the holes did not match to secure the motherboard to the case.
You don't want a loose motherboard, which could fall off from vibration or the weight of components.
Also you don't want the PCB tracks on the back of the motherboard to come in contact with the case.

Thank you so much for your answer.

So I am now planning to get this case:
Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1 Computer Case 'microATX, Mini-ITX, USB 3.0, Window Side Panel' MCW-L3B3-KANN-01

I hope this works for now before i get myself the AM4 mobo for Ryzen and probably get one of the h100i watercooler.

That is a good looking PC case, but I suggest you get a PC case with better air flow.
Acrylic is not a good material to dissipate heat, besides attracting dust and be prone to scratches
