hi,
i got a pentium 3 550mhz with p3 mobo and sd ram, but i want to change the casing to those P4 casing, those with USB port infront, but as i know P4 casing power supply is higher, so it is ok to fit my P3 cpu, mobo into a P4 casing? and how about the stabality? thanks! |

Should be no problems at all.
 Juz make sure ur PSU is 20+4 Pins design so dat is backward compatible. Anyway u should post this on hardware Q&A.  |

Casing shouldnt be a problem, most casing now a days have multiple mounting screws/brackets. The thing that you should be concerned about is the powersupply, make sure it supports a 20pin power connector....

QUOTE(jcliew @ Mar 20 2007, 09:58 AM) BTX only available on higher end casing if i not mistaken BTX is intended for replacement of ATX (came out on 2003), straight from wikipedia. Interesting... but it failed though. But FYI there r sum BTX upgrade kit on market as well  Btw TS, this should be in Hardware Q&A. This post has been edited by blindbox: Mar 20 2007, 08:04 PM |
