So I was thinking about switching my pc case due to it being huge. The only thing im worried about is plugging things in. I built my computer with a computer teacher at a school and he helped me a little. I have no problem screwing things down but im not 100 percent were everything is plugged in does anyone have anything that could help me thanks so much :)

I don't really see how this post is necessary but fine.

To switch to another case, first take out video card as it's probably attached to case, after that unplug all the power cable etc. make sure there are none plugged in the case / dvd reader / HDD etc. Now take out the DVD reader, HDD, power supply etc. unscrew the fans that you've installed manually and take out the motherboard.

Now, you should be able to place everything back in the new case, make sure that your videocard fits into the ( Smaller ) case you are buying. Don't forget to take some photo's if you know you are bad with remember which cable goes where.
