My computer is great in every way except one, it has a really small case. I want to move my whole computer into a new case (probably an ATX Mid Tower Case w/400 watt Power Supply sold at http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/...=prod_info&dept=lch5&search=1sc05&child=1sc05 The problem is I have no idea what to do. I'm not sure if it has a hole in the back for all of the ports on my motherboard, and I'm not sure if the power supply that it includes will work with all of my hardware. Also I have no idea how to actually move all of my components into the new case. Can anybody help me?
 
Take the back panel from the old case and transfer it into the new one.

Also you can get a better case than that for that kind of money off of newegg.com

like this one....

EDIT: I just realized that you have an EMACHINE...... You most likely cannot transfer it. The mobo might be a Micro ATX, and is probably compatible, but the back panel is nontransferable.... Sorry. you can still do it, but it will be a half a$$ job.
 
How hard will it be to take off the back pannel of my old case, and what can I do if my new case is a new hight/width?
 
you would probably have to take a dremel to it, and cut it off the old case. I am pretty sure that retail computers like that have the panel intregrated into the case.

But if it is not intregrated, than you might be able to do it. Just dont buy anything yet.
