I recently went about upgrading my XPS GEN4 PC. It was a bit tricky as the case didn't have mounting points for a standard ATX motherboard. Also the fans in the case had non standard power connectors and I had to replace them.

I'm not really sure what will create the best circulation inside my case? Thanks!
