Upgrading cases from a dell (newer, SFF) to an Asus (old as in 20ish years, ATX).

So I have a dell 9010 SFF, and I'm pretty sick of the tiny ass case. I have this old Asus case lying around (with stuff still on it, haven't used it in years, everything still seems to work fine). How much effort would it be to simply transfer everything but the PSU across? Its a Stock dell optiplex 9010 SFF and I don't even know what the Asus is. I'll look over the case in the morning for a product number.

The Ancient thing I'm putting stuff into.

You probably could mount it into that case but if you have the blower style cooler on the cpu it looks like that is attached to the case. You would also need a new power supply since your old one in the asus case probably doesn't have things like sata power connectors or a 24pin only 20. Which on low power boards like yours will work most of the time.... But I would buy a new power supply anyways since it's so old. So you would need a new cooler and a new power supply if you did that. So it would be about $5-15 for a stock cooler replacement, and about $30 for one of those cheaper evga Tier 3 units.

As the computer was an EXTREMELY (as in $7000 USD mark)high end, I was hoping maybe some of the parts (cooler and PSU primarily) would still be useable but for and extra maybe $75 seems decnt enough and hopefully not to much of hassle. I found my phone and will upload pictures in five-ish minutes.
