fox* Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I have a desktop that I don't really use anymore. I usually use my laptop to play CS:S and other games. Lately I've been experiencing lag, probably due to the other crap that I have on my laptop lowing it down. Desktop specs.

msaber Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 If your going to replace all of the parts, you can buy a relatively cheap case. That way you don't have to worry about space issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msaber Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144256 After rebate it'll be $9.99 plus $9.99 for shipping. so $20 charged to a credit card. Go ahead and post the credit card info and address below so i can buy it for you. Edited September 26, 2010 by msaber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiri-Jolith Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Go ahead and post the credit card info and address below so i can buy it for you. Um, how about fox pm's the info or buys it himself? Not a good idea to put credit card info on a public forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cefdinir Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 You are not going to be able to reuse that case. That case/motherboard is backwards or mirrored to what the current standard is. Meaning, your side panel access is on the wrong side of the case. And you won't be able to turn the new motherboard 180 degrees because the PCI slots would be towards the top of the case. You'll have to start from scratch. But you could probably reuse the DVD-ROM, SATA HDD, and card reader that is if you get the appropriate interfaces on your motherboard (IDE, SATA II, and ??? respectively). Cases are cheap, but you get what you pay for and if you go with a quality one it will last you forever. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizfunky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I agree with Cefdinir. Cases can last a very long time and if you drop, say, 70 dollars on the CM690 II Advanced; well let's just say you'll jizz once you get it. It's an amazing case for it's price.
