hey guys. I have had a HP pro 3500 (i5 3470) (12 gb ram) for a while now, today i cleaned the cpu cooler, and it made me think, how hard/easy would it be to case swap it? I mean i know how hard it can be, mostly due to un-standard components. can anyone let me know if it would be easy for this particular pc? will the front I/O work? the power button? the PSU?  (btw I'm looking for a cheap gpu and any recommendations would be helpful)

I want a sub 50 usd case, nothing too crazy, maybe some LED-s. oh and the cpu runs quite hot so good airflow

With that computer it would be very straightforward. Your system uses a standard microATX motherboard as well as a standard power supply, so you can move the components right over to a new case. You could also put different components in your existing case.

Phobos: AMD Ryzen 7 2700, 16GB 3000MHz DDR4, ASRock B450 Steel Legend, 8GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, 2GB Nvidia GeForce GT 1030, 1TB Samsung SSD 980, 450W Corsair CXM, Corsair Carbide 175R, Windows 10 Pro

 

Polaris: Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2, 32GB 1600MHz DDR3, ASRock X79 Extreme6, 12GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, 6GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 1TB Crucial MX500, 750W Corsair RM750, Antec SX635, Windows 10 Pro

 

Pluto: Intel Core i7-2600, 32GB 1600MHz DDR3, ASUS P8Z68-V, 4GB XFX AMD Radeon RX 570, 8GB ASUS AMD Radeon RX 570, 1TB Samsung 860 EVO, 3TB Seagate BarraCuda, 750W EVGA BQ, Fractal Design Focus G, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

Thanks. so is the power connecter standard too? HP does a lot of crapping around with their proprietary connectors
