Yes yes, those temperatures will be fixed with some tools and imagination. 🙂 Still, I would love if anyone gives an answer. In worst case scenario (no pun intended) I will have to resell the case again.

Long as a standard ATX power supply fits, you should be fine.

 

Upon closer inspection, it's not quite an mATX motherboard layout, but a dremel should solve that problem pretty easily. Enough of the core standoffs line up that it shouldn't be a major problem.

Hi guys!

So, I want to buy a second hand Alienware Aurora R7 case. Didn't found much more then people swapping PSUs, or adding a GPU.

Does someone know or have the experience if I can put a standart MOBO and other parts in this case?

Didn't find a similar thread here.

Thanks in advance!

It looks to be a standard mATX motherboard, from what I can find online.

 

I'd be most worried about temperatures.
