Refitting slimcase pc

BurgundyBadger · 7 Jun 2012 at 15:33

Hi I currently have a Acer aspire AX3950 and I am hoping to add a GPU. I have read that the PSU is very low and is unable to support most mid-high end GPUs. Also the fact that the case is a slim tower PSU are limited. So my questions is can I move the components from the slim tower to a full or mid tower thus allowing me to add any PSU and GPU?

Regards,
Calum

Download and install Cpu-z. Open it up and click on the motherboard tab. This will tell you the make and model. O r just look in the bios.

You wont get that mobo in an ATX case fella. Might be best to sell it as is and do a new build.

If you can measure the size of your mobo we can tell you for sure if it will fit. It looks to be made for that case from the pics

southbridge H57
