hi sifus, i am planning a new rig as mine is aging, and i have a CM Storm Scout case laying at home so im thinking to reuse it to save some bucks. what are the limitations would i face if i am to use a Z370 chipset motherboard (looking at GIGABYTE Z370XP-SLI) in the old case from the LGA775 era?

Nothing. seriously nothing. it all depends on what size of mobo can fit and what kind of cooling you're installing.

It's just a metal box. Unless you need the USB ports to be USB 3.0 nothing is different.

Easier to look at USB 3.0 bays (either 5.25 or 3.5).
