Hi guys, basically i have a compaq, amd athlon 64, 2.01Ghz, 512Mb RAM, etc etc....

For my own interest, i want to start upgrading my pc, maybe make it a bit more powerful..n maybe make it look a bit more lively!!?

Is it easy enough to get new cases etc..i mean is all cases you can buy, the same size etc, or do i have to measure my one now or what?!!

Cheers

Yep, unless you glue the 2 cases together and have wires running between them

how much are you looking at spending on a case, and i will think of some reccomendations

£30-40 would get you a reasnoble one...

No probs, though if you have a very large motherboard, i would reccomend taking measurments. but it should fit
