I'll be upgrading my PC and I've be considering what to do with my ripened CPU casing since I'll be replacing everything inside it. My feeble motherboard was an Asus ATX board, but I'll be using a microATX-size board once I upgrade. From what I've be told, the new processor I'm planning to mount will require a 500W PSU. Can I still reuse my cover if I just modification the PSU?
Reuse an ATX crust?
No you will not need to replace the satchel, it will work fine. Now as for who told you that you needed a 500W PSU for a processor, they are very markedly wrong. Perhaps if you are running a high back video card you need that much, but no processor wishes anywhere near that much power.
Should be fine.
Yes, micro ATX is smaller than a ATX mobo, you will hold more room to work around.
The one thing I own not replaced in 10 years is my grip. It's a giant full tower and my new Asus MoBo looks puny compared to the productive MoBo I had for Win95.
Asus is set for making great MoBos that can be easily adapted to fit anywhere.
From what I hold read, Windows Vista is going to be a power hog, and I've heard that my 450watt PS may not be satisfactory! Can you imagine? My PC will use more liquid then 5 100 watt lightbulbs!
It used to be that the monitor be the hog, now it's the OS!!
