    Hi, I have a Compaq SR1630NX with a Asustek Amberine M motherboard, and I was wondering if I took out the motherboard to put in this case: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/5124886?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
    Would I have to take the CPU fan out too? Or can I just have to unplug the power supply and components, leave the CPU fan on the motherboard, unscrew the motherboard, and put it in the new case?

    yea, u can leave the CPU and fan in there, as well as the memory. just unplug all the cables, remove the PCI/AGP/PCI-E cards and stick it in the new case
