Case recommendations please.

Currently have an HP DC7800 small form factor and looking to upgrade the case so I can add an Arctic Cooler.

What I have now:

I've been told the HP motherboard can be fussy about where it will be housed and have been advised my only option is to buy a genuine HP Convertible MiniTower.

What I've been told is my only option:

Can anyone confirm if this is indeed the case or if there is an aftermarket alternative out there for me.

Thanks in advance.

For cases, I don't know. Dell and HP can be right B's when it comes to customising them.

For coolers, certainly. You should be able to fit in a top-flow cooler, or some retail cooler replacement. Dunno why you'd need to though.

Thanks for the reply, I've ordered a new CPU and am planning on overclocking it so think I'd be wise to sort out some proper cooling first.
