I had an optiplex 9010 MT and while travelling i have taken the component inside such as following:
1.Motherboard with tag number dp/n: 0m9kcm with CPU proccessor i7 3770.
2.Powesupply unit dell 9010 MT standard.
3.Hard drive
4.Ram units 2x
5.Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce graphic card.
Computer was running perfectly and all parts are in good condition. But for some reasons i lost the case and now im looking for alternative options and seeking advice here, after going through previous articles i noticed its not easy to get any i.e. rosewill cases or other non dell oem cases and make it work fine. From the other hand i cant find a reasonable 9010 MT used case where i buy and use the case. What do you suggest? Shall i go ahead and order rosewill case which is about 30 bucks free shipping and then get technical and find a way to install the components and power switch botton. or shall i stick with higher priced dell oem case for about 80 + 30 shipping $ as a pay more less hassle option. Any help and suggestions will make me decide easier. Thank you

I think the motherboard has Dell connectors for fans and power switch and other stuff from case front panel. If you buy a regular case you might need some of those still. Which you might be able to find as standalone items on Ebay.

Since you have the motherboard check that first.

110 dollars for a case is way too much. And considering not a lot of people get their cases "broken", it's not likely you'd find cheapers ones, as stuff like that is low in both demand and supply. But the small parts might be offered on sale more often.
