I have a HP Pavilion case(P6102F) AMD Phenom II X4 925, 8GB PC2-6400 DDR2 RAM, 750GB 7200RPM DVD /-R/RW With LightScribe ATI Radeon HD 4650. Case Tower Depth : 42.80 cm Tower Height: 38.91 cm Tower Width: 17.45 cm. MotherBoard: Pegatron, M2N78-LA ,Violet-GL8E, Power Supply 300 W. I want to transfer my motherboard, hard drive etc. to a Silverstone TJ07B Temjin Full-Tower ATX Case. And buy a new PSU, graphics card. Im wondering if my motherboard will be compatible with this case? Or should i just upgrade my PSU and graphics card instead? (Im probably going for a 550 PSU and a ATI HD 4890)

Thats "voila-gl8e" not violet, also called an asus m2n78-la

From HPs web site: Form factor * micro-ATX: 9.6 in X 9.6 in

Any case that says it will hande a microATX board should handle it.


From TigerDirect.com specs on that case:
Compatible Motherboards: ATX, Micro ATX, Extended ATX


Thats a huge, expensive case for that cheap little motherboard. You could get away with far cheaper if you wanted. If the specs on those sites are correct it should work, though.

One note: You will need the I/O shield from the old case, to install in the Silverstone. There is a possibility that this is a proprietary part from HP... but probably not. Probably transferable.

TJ07 is an older design and lacks some modern features. Are you sure you want that one?

TJ09 costs less and is better:

Wow, that case is mad overkill. Not sure I'd pay that much for a case myself especially if I was gonna stick in the parts from that HP, but that's just me. Anyway all your parts will fit and work just fine in that case and it should be fine with just about any GPU and PSU you decide to put in it.
