PC case

Hi I have on old PC case (about 10 years) it is in A1 condition the MB that is in it only has USB 1 onboard will the USB sockets in the case only be USB1 the reason I'm asking is I want to put in another MB, processor and memory then install Vista

 

Sorry, but what exactly are you asking?

 

I'm asking if the cases USB sockets will be ok for USB2 which the new board will have

 

Sorry, I totally misread your post.

As long as the case supports the ATX form factor, which is a standard design for most motherboards, it should be fine.

 

Yes the case is a standard ATX just that it's old but in good condition complete with 2 DVD drives, floppy and PSU thanks for the replies

 

If you are planning on reusing the PSU make sure it is from a reputable manufacturer and that it has enough wattage to support the components you will be adding to the computer.

Have a look here for a wattage calculator, to determine how much load you will be putting on the system. I would recommend plugging in any components you think you may have in a few years and setting capacitance ageing to 30%: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

Have a look here for reputable/reliable PSU manufacturers. Please bear in mind that a PSU is one of the most critical components in a computer system and getting a cheap or poor quality one now may cost you more in the long run as cheaper/less reputable PSUs are more likely to produce poor quality power, and they are more likely to fail, and if they do fail they are more likely to fail badly, and are therefore more likely to damage other components in the system: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=208143
