Well the one i have now is a dell......
only thing really left from the original dell i got is the motherboard. i've added / changed pretty much the rest of the system.
Now reason i want a new case is...
1, this case is like plastic. i want an Aluminum one.
2, this thing for holding in the cards, has this plastic green bar that clips down where you would nomally put screws to hold the cards in. and its supposed to hold them there with no screws for easy changing............. Well wtf do i need easy changing for? im not changing a card every hour. and the damn thing dont even work right. almost every time i plug my monitor back into the back after doing something. the card slips loose, and i have to go back and resnap that damn green thing again. im afraid one of these times its going to damage my gfx card. I would much prefer having a screw in there where i KNOW its held in solid.
3, my usb ports on the front are under a flap pointing down. since i have my case on the floor. they're damn hard plug something in quickly.
I dont want to go overboard with a new case. something that looks nice at a decent price. cuz lets face it. all its going to do is sit there.

i was thinking about one like that little guy there.
im hoping i could just switch everything with no prob.
and if the case comes with a power supply. would i be better to use my own or the new one or would it really matter?
And im not worried about a window on the case. altho they do look nice. but Wouldnt a light inside the case make it hotter inside??? is there a switch for the light if one were to be put in? cuz i could see it maybe being usefull to put a light on inside if i was putting it on display or wanting to look at something inside. but defently wouldnt want it always on.
Anywho....... any tips for me? any problems you see with me switching cases? Much info would be nice.
