possible to switch cases?
i have an emachine that is pretty much the same as the day i bought it (got a better sound card though)
is it possible to switch cases to something better looking but leaving everything else the same? |

Most likely yes... what model is it and do you have any good links for it...
what kind of case are you looking for? Some issues you could run into are the drive faces... some are fals faces by emachines... unlikely but possible an odd power supply size or configuration... but otherwise most everything els should swap easily enough... in some rare cases they use very short cable lengths for the PSU, and IDE cables... that could be an issue but 80 wire standard size cables are cheap enough...

Have you thought about modding your current case? Add a window...paint the case...add some lights...whatever. That way you don't have to buy another case and deal with whether or not the parts will fit or not.

If you decide not to mod it yourself, wich I recommend if you have the tools and a decent case to begin with...
Amamax is the cheapest (free shipping) reliable vendor I know of for cases... http://store.yahoo.com/amamax/blatatxmicaw2.html http://store.yahoo.com/amamax/poxcsi73atxg1.html http://store.yahoo.com/amamax/spivatxmidto.html http://store.yahoo.com/amamax/cs1.html |
