Aurora R7, different case?
I have a question about my Alienware aurora r7. I want to move the internals to a different case. I understand that I will have to get a new Mobo. But do u think it’s possible. Would I have to get different ram. It comes with the original ram that I have no clue what brand it is. It’s just green and it’s the won’t that comes with the original aurora
@Anonymous :
I think @Nmasier was also referring to the IO cover that goes over the motherboard at the rear of the chassis. It was mentioned near the end of this post:
-The IO shield on the XPS 8930 is built into the case so it is not removable to be transferred into the IO shield opening of a new case.
...
With a case swap there is an opening in the back of the case. Should not affect case pressure or have any other effects.
...
However there is a seller on Ebay that has this mesh IO Shield that has adhesive on one side. Use the foam template inside the XPS 8930 rear IO opening to create a new IO shield.

Because io Sheild does not come out and screws holes are not in the same places
