Best Case Swap for Dell Optiplex 3050 Sff
I'm interested in case swapping my Dell Optiplex 3050 SFF so I can put a better power supply which will get me more gpu options. (since I have very limited options using stock psu). What's the best case for case swapping a Dell Optiplex 3050 SFF? My budget is 100$ but preferably 50-80$. Please recommend me a case that works with stock Dell Optiplex 3050 parts and not need to buy parts for it.

The 3050 SFF case swap is not an easy procedure unlike the MT which is much easier. This YouTube video is for the 3020 SFF which is very much the same procedure as the 3050 SFF. Basically the 3050 SFF is so proprietary that there are no adapters available for the I/O connections, etc. The author of the video had to purchase a compatible MB that will use the CPU, RAM, etc, in order to case swap.

In the video, the guy changes the motherboard. Is that mandatory?
