I just recently bought a BFG GeForce 8800 GTS. It is freaking amazing! But...I had to put in a new PSU to power it. Now the airflow in my tiny ass tower is completely resticted. I have the side panel off and a box fan cooling the system right now. My dilemma is should I get a liquid cooler for my CPU and not upgrade my case or should I upgrade my case and not go with liquid cooling. I could liquid my GPU but it voids the warranty to remove the heat sink and fan. So what is the best choice?

I need advice ASAP because my parents are bitching at me

I would get a bigger case.
Liquid cooling is going to be hard to do in that little case.

How difficult is it to transfer cases?

not hard. you just have to take out your drives first, then unplug everything, then probably the powersupply next. then motheboard.

How can I tell if my motherboard will fit?

Well is it a ATX motherboard?

well from what i found its an ATX mobo.. just make sure the new case can fit an ATX mobo

HP/Compaq switched to ATX or Micro ATX a while ago, so usually any ATX case you buy will work, seeing as they usually fit Micro ATX boards.

Is it a standard power supply?
