i want a tower where i can put in an extra dvd rom, as i took it out in mine to put in the dvd writer, but i want a dvd rom in aswell, i only have 2 slots one for a dvd writer and one for a cd writer and i want a tower that has more availbale slots, how easy is it to swap all my stuff into another tower? any websites where there are step by step guides? or is it better if i take it to a shop for them to do it


any help would be appreciated

If you know how to build a PC - you can do it in 5 mins.

Its not difficult at all.

Just disconnect all drives, cables and take out the MB and place it in the other case. Then stick in all cables and drives like usual.

try www.pcmech.com for detailed guides in building pc's.

Yep very straightforward, if you are unsure, take a digital photo of your system before you disconnect everything, that way you have something to work from in case you get stuck when rebuilding it.

i found it really easy to swap my components to a new tower even though i had not done it b4 it is a simple enough task you just gotta know where the different bits go :D
