First off most people use a General ATX mid tower case. There are many several types of cases out there on the market. It all depends on what kind of Motherboard you have, and the how old it is and or size. Most cases on the market are versatile so most likely your Mobo will fit in a new one. Some members here even make there own cases.

Choose an ATX case and you should be home-free.

(We can help more if you tell use the manufacturer and model of your motherboard.)

You can't link to a folder on your computer.. you have to have a website host the images for you...

chuckelz · 20-July-04, 12:42 AM

You can do some nice modding and I wish you the best! It will be very hard to start modding with what you have now as usually those Compaq/Pre-built systems are propriatary to that case. It would be easier to just mod the case you have now, or start over with a new motherboard and case rather than drop that mobo into a new case.

Just a bit of experiance talking
