Hi, I'd like to know if it is, at all, possible to transfer the stock components of a dc7800 Convertible Minitower http:// into the Rosewill case described above http://. I already know that the motherboard should fit in this case, because it accommodates both Micro-ATX and ATX boards, the latter of which mine happens to be (it's a hp 0AAch). My biggest concern is whether or not the power supply (generic hp 365w, as pictured in the link for the Minitower) will fit in the new case. Any feedback will be much appreciated!

Thanks for the response - that was fast! I measured the dimensions, and it looks like they are approximately 6 x 4 x 5.9 (in inches), which I am assuming is length x height x depth, but it could actually be 5.9 x 4 x 6 instead (I'm not very good at determining what's what). I know you have an Antec case, so I don't expect an answer back on what the dimensions for a power supply in a Rosewill case are supposed to be, but I didn't know how else to post the dimensions of my power supply except by replying to you. Plus, I wanted to say thank you.
 


Your welcome! From the measurements and the size of the case it should fit. My only concern would be if the holes match up once its placed on the PSU pad in the Rosewill Challenger, although its like the saying goes "You won't know until you try!"

Much appreciated. I will definitely look into getting it now (and, hey, if it doesn't work out, I can always save up for a new motherboard, processor, RAM, and power supply if I need to, and just keep the case in safe storage until then).
