How do I change a computer case?

I bought a new clear computer case. How would I transfer all of the parts into it. Are there any websites that give steps? Anything I need before I start? Thanks!How do I change a computer case?
An anti-static wrist strap is useful as the components are static sensitive.


Remove all the hardware from the old case carefully.You will not need to remove the CPU or memory from the motherboard.


Make sure the motherboard standoffs in your new case relate to the screw holes on the board and that none are under it obstructing the fitting (or causing a short!)


Wire up your PC switch,power LED's as laid out on the motherboard.


As it is a clear case,it might be worth investing in an aerosol air duster (Maplins) to clean off all the parts. A light brush will remove the stubborn stuff.


Switch on the machine BEFORE putting on the side panel just to blow away any dust that may end up stuck to the clear panel.





Just a few tips that might save you some grief

You need to make sure that the case will accomodate the mother boards form factor. (mini, micro etc...) and that the power supply will work with your morther board, otherwise most things will transfer without too much of a problem
