Salvaging an old gaming PC to build a new one, a "Bionic PC" if you will!

Thanks! Was rummaging around for the booklet, but didn't think to look on the website! But if I remove the HDD cage, where would i put the HDD's?

The whole tray compartment is removable.. but unless I'm mistaken that would leave nowhere to put the HDD's?

 

[dunn2010]

he says by the way these two compartments are removable. whats the second one he pulls out? not for hdd's aswell?

 

[MylesB89]

First is for HDD's, Second is for floppy drives I think..

I'm thinking it might be simpler to just buy a new case... what do you guys think?

After a bit of thinking Ive downsized to the above.. should fit in the case i currently own, if not ive thrown one in there.

What do we think of this one?

Okay well, guess I'll figure that one out myself...

Would i need a larger PSU If i wanted to overclock?
