Z220 case problem, delema.

[Eric Kazer]

I can take care of the PSU, I have an adapter. The problem is that the motherboard is inverted.The PCI cards are at the left of the IO instead of being on the right of the IO. Does anyone know of a case that would work so I can upgrade the GPU to better than a 1050TI LP card. It is a odd layout. It's a very capable machine that can hold 32GB DDR3 1600MHz.

that motherboard has a proprietary layout so you won't be able to find another case that supports it.

It's true. The Z-series SFF machines are completely proprietary. You'll need to get a new motherboard, power supply and case. Might as well do a complete upgrade once you need more performance.

This is just tinkering at this point. I figure make the case. I use it mainly for Emulators. Throw in a I7-3770 and it's decent. They are easy to find used. See how the screw layout is. I have a Optiplex 330 that is the same way with more room. Maybe a PCI-E extension cable. PSU is no big deal because of adapters that are all over the place. Might upgrade to a 3770 and leave it for now. Still a I3-3240 is capable for emulation.
