Step by step instructions on changing Computer Case

Replacing a Computer Case
Before you start changing the computer case, you need all the tools necessary to unscrew and screw it back such as; screw driver, scissors, driller, plier etc.
Select a new case for your computer. Computer cases are available in two main designs: desktop and tower. Choose a case depending on the configuration and color that match your computer. Consider the size of your machine, cover color and it's upgrade factor.

• Ensure that your computer is switched off. Let all the components cool down. Carefully unplug all cables attached to the computer.
• You should be very careful and take note of where (drives/board) cables are removed for easy replacement.
• Use the "+" screwdriver to open the existing computer case. Rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise to loosen the screws.
• Slowly remove the case from the rest of the assembly.
• Take the new case and align it with your CPU. Push the new case gently and align it till you hear a "snap" sound. This will ensure the case has been placed in the correct position.
• Reattach all the screws that you removed earlier. Rotate the screws clockwise and tighten them.
• Reconnect all the cables in their respective slots.
• Switch on the computer and check to see if your machine is working properly.

Should in case you have problem connecting the drives, see for more details.
