    i have a6614f hp amd phenom x4 and i want to change a computer case to a bigger one! it shouldn't be a problem transferring over to a new one would it?
     
  2. yes you can

    however you will most likely lose the warranty if it hasn't expired, or you don't mind losing it

    You can, but you might need to buy some new fans to have better air flow.

    as of this computer the warranty has been expired long time like 2 years ago
     
  6. you can transfer everything from the old case to the new without a problem.

    you just need to figure out how to plug the power button... might be different for each case

    i didin't know that do they use the same kind of a plug for a power button?.... i got the right case for it alrdy but since u say the power button is different i guess i have to do some research
     
  8. no you can use any case you want, the thing is, you have to know how to connect the cables of the power and reset buttons to the motherboard.

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    I would suggest you get someone who knows what they're doing, to help you, rather than doing it yourself.

    just google the motherboard model's manual, it isn't hard as most OEM computer sellers uses well know motherboards anyway...u may as well change to a faster computer then, is 2 yrs old, parts will start falling apart, and slow already...if u are planning to move the parts to new case, may as well ya know?

    Take your time doing this and don't force anything in. The good thing is, things only go in 1 way. And you really can't screw anything up with the switches(unless you bend the pins). They either work or not, it's not gonna blow up.
     

  18. that's what she said...

    kevin RAWR!

    He said bend the penis though lol.

    Take your time, don't rush otherwise when you mess up then your pretty fak.
