Cheap PC case that supports MicroATX and slimline PSU

Mobilizer · Apr 6, 2016

Hi guys, so I'm having a hard time upgrading an old PC. I'm looking for a inexpensive (25-45$ USD) slimline case that'll support this type of power supply and this motherboard.

Any help will be appreciated. No GPU is going into this case, just the basics for light browsing / office work.

Get dude, your best bet is an SFF case but out of curiosity why do you want to use that PSU?

Zack Fowler :

Good question. I was asked this before so no worries. =)

The reason why I'm using this PSU is because it came with the original manufactured build back in 2010. This PSU is getting old; however, it still runs very well as the PC has never been under load -- just office work. It'll also be a great money-saver to not buy a new PSU and case.

My question to you is, do you know of any SFF case(s) I could use for the build?

(Loving the DW pic) Umm SSF cases are hard for custom builds as I'm sure you are already aware, KEeping the price under $40 may be hard as well, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a stanard ATX case with a PSU for the same price you would get an SSF Case for. What is the dimensions of your PSU do you know?

I did a quick Google search on the model number. Amazon says it's a LITEON PSU that's 8.9 x 4.3 x 1.7 inches.

Bit of a lightbulb moment but have you looked on ebay for compatible case? i.e From the Optiplex or Aspire X series and put your PSU and MOBO in that?

Oh shoot, accidentally made your answer a solution... didn't mean to! I have not looked at any of those cases but I suppose I could.

It may be the best idea dude. eBay would be your best bet and also it may be worth giving NewEgg or someone a call and just saying hey I have this PSU got anything that could fit it!

For what it's worth, I'll try it out. I'll report back again later tonight if I have any more questions.

Thanks for your time =)
