New computer case for Dimension 8300
Hi,
I am looking for a new computer case for my 8300. I am not sure what type of case to buy and am looking for some advice. If I buy one of these cases will it work?

Or
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=11-133-132&DEPA=0
Or
http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-soprano-case-black.html
I am looking to keep my case as cool as possible. Right now the temps in my case are silly.
If I buy a new case can I upgrade my power supply without a problem? Or do I have to keep Dell’s PSU (305-Watt)?
I am looking to upgrade a lot of things so any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.

First off you wil void your warranty.
Second it will take some serious mods to get the MB to fit.
Not worth it.

At that time, you can build a new one with the case of your choice!

Thanks for the replies. I guess it does sound like a pain. My warranty is up in one month and I don’t mind voiding it. Are there any successful 8300 case mods that you know of? I saw a picture of an 8300 with an intake fan installed in the side. The posting did not say what was used to complete the process however.
Are there no PC cases that will work for a transfer? Or can I get a hold of an XPS case somehow? And if so will an 8300 transfer without a problem? The reason I ask about another Dell case is because I heard the XPS case has good airflow (more fans).
Tell me I am not stuck with this 8300 extreme heat case! I mean come on. Jokes.
My next computer will be built around the case I want. I know I should have done that originally. Whatever.
Seacrest Out!
Sike! I hate that fool.
