Hello, I am almost 100% new to the whole moding scene, and am hoping to move the internal parts (My hardware) of my computer to the case of one of my old computers, but i'm not sure how to go about it.
First off, how would I go about making sure all of my parts are going to fit into there, such as my motherboard? Or are all motherboards the same size? If so, how do I know there will be a place for it to screw in where I want it to, and for the PCI slots to line up with the corresponding opening in the case?
Second, once I finish moving all of my stuff to the other case, what about more fans? My computer currently only has one fan, in which has some type of doohickey in which allows that fan ONLY to withdraw air from my CPU, so I asked around and I was told that I plug fans into the three prong plugs scattered randomly about my motherboard, but I don't have any. Does that mean I cant get any more fans?
Last question, What about lighting? Everyone wants some kind of fancy lights illuminating your case to show off to friends, but how do you power them? Is there some sort of jig in which plugs into one of the extra cords coming from the power supply, and distributes that power to whatever lighting stuff you plug into it? Or does it plug into the same place(s) as the fan as described above.
I really hope to get further into computer moding, so ANY help/suggestions would be wonderful. Like if there are any tutorials specifically for switching cases.
