PC cases

To move your build into a different case, check the space each part needs and the connections you want on the front panel.

Will my parts fit this case?

Identify its form factor, such as ATX, microATX or Mini-ITX. Check the depth of the power supply as well.

Compare graphics card length and CPU cooler height with the stated clearances. A front radiator may reduce the space for the graphics card.

Count the drive bays and front ports you need. Ask whether the necessary standoffs, screws and drive trays come with the case.

List the motherboard, graphics card and cooler models, the number of drives and the maximum case dimensions that suit your space.
