Hello,

I am looking to recase my Packard Bell M5772 as the current case is very small and packed and components are over heating (HDD's reach around 50C sometimes). I have to keep the side of the case open all the time and it's a pain cleaning it as it gets dusty very quickly. I am new to this and was wondering if it is possible to recase my components to a case with better ventilation.

If it is possible I have been looking at the Zalman Z9+ and Z11+ cases and was wondering if they are any good. I have a budget of about £50.

My current case + specs:

Please let me know if you need any other information and thank you for reading.

The zalman cases are great cases, don't get me wrong.
And would be ideal for your needs.

Just personnel preference with cases bud, and was trying to keep it to £50 :p

It's hard to decide between the two. :( The z11 looks good but lacks the fan controller and temp gauge while z9 looks ok-ish but has the fan controller and temp gauge.

Could you please confirm that my components will fit into the cases? All my components are OEM except for the graphics card and PSU so I don't want to end up making things worse
 
The choice is yours :P but by the sounds of it you wouldn't want to turn the fans down :P lol and there are plenty of hardware temp monitors out there that are free you can download.

And yes, your motherboard is a micro atx. so will fit nicely into either of those cases.

Yeah I don't care how loud the fans get as long as I have the piece of mind that my components are cool and are less prone to fail!
