hello, i want to make sort of a sleeper pc, i want to buy dell optiplex 7010 case and put inside of it my motherboard cooler gpu and everything, i know that you need to remove some of the hdd trays for it. i wanted to know if GIGABYTE B365M AORUS ELITE and CORSAIR RM 750 rtx 2080 super oc from gigabyte will fit in to that case? also i know that the power switch wont work i have external power switch. i always liked the way this dell case looked so i wanna know if its possible to sort ot mod it and fit my parts in to it. i dont have the tools to grind the case but i have a small drill.

i would like to know if somebody know or have done something like that. thanks.

That is a non-standard case, and won't accept regular ATX parts.

Potential solution for a "sleeper look":

Cut off the whole Dell front panel, and merge it on to the front of a regular case.

Result....Looks like the Dell, but is not.

Hahahahaha!
Pre-builts from Dell and others are not my choice for a PC. Even the wiring could be different. Too much proprietary garbage.
