    How to upgrade a case? (Optiplex 3010 prebuilt)

    How do I make sure of the standard my connector conforms to? In the manual it says the connectors are ATX. Is that alright?

    How to upgrade a case? (Optiplex 3010 prebuilt)

    So I've finally found the time & cash to work on this old prebuilt, currently I can get a rx560 for $80, & a 500W EVGA PSU for $35: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H33SFJU/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm wondering about cases tho...what sort of specifications go into upgrading a case...

    So my friend needed a laptop for 1k??Options/decisions?

    He wants to be able to play games nicely, but MAINLY it's about something with ~5h battery life and portable for college...I like his budget, gives me nice headroom.I'm looking at these parts and barebones kits... The way custom laptops are apparently very limited "compatibility" between systems...
