Re: Has anyone here had experience with basically installing a new PC inside an old case? I've had a couple of OEM boxes custom built for me. Basically, attempts on my behalf to save a couple of bucks and use an existing case were a joke. Power supply was wrong, motherboard mounts were wrong. And a couple of other incompatibilities emerged. Cases are dirt cheap. There isn't any justification for not getting a new case to match the other new components you're installing. The industry evolves in lockstep. Trying to use a case that is a few years old with new guts will have you pulling your hair out over all the "gotchas" you'll be facing, IMVHO. :)
