I did it a couple of weeks ago, all you have to do is unscrew everything, take it apart, and then reassemble it in the new case. I would not reccomend using PSU's that come with cases, they are normally very low quality, and fail reguarly.

Power Supply Unit (the big box at the top left of the case, normally.) If splits up the 230V into different rails which are then used for different components.

It's not hard at all. All you have to do is remove the four screws holding the power supply in and take it out. Connecting all the components is pretty straight forward as well.

Actually Kam, it's not that hard...... You ground yourself first, then unscrew everything, put it back in proper place in the new case and screw it in....waala.


The psu is about 4 in. in length and about 2 in. in height....not really big at all.

It's basically building a computer, except having to order all the parts and make big choices :D


If you DO get a new psu, get the heavily recommened Enlight 360w for about 30.00
