Im currently planning to transplant all of my hardware in my optiplex 990 space saving into a bigger case. Im doing this so i can fit a full sized graphics card inside the thing. Note: im going to using a new power supply and im going to get rid of the CD drive and replace it with a normal SSD. Is this possible and is this a bad idea? Im currently on a VERY tight budget,

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Not a standard sized motherboard and other connectors for front io so won't work.

Don't 

They usually have a proprietary wiring 

So it's not advised
