lo ppl.

Im looking for a midi pc case with dimensions of 420x190. i have a few questions for the techies.
1. My on/off switch is on the right hand side. and say if i wanted to get a pc case with a switch on the left/middle i would not be able to turn the darn pc off??

2. The cd drives and floppy drives, would they have to be in the exact same position as they are in atm?

3. Same for the audio inputs and usb sockets. would they have to be in the exact same position for me to put me mouse in !!! ahhh i cant kill ppl widout a mouse !! or a keyboard for that matter.

Can anyone answer these questions and can recommend any good webbys

Thanks

Jamie

What kind of pc have u got now?? Is it a dell etc???

1. The leads for power/reset switches etc will sort that
2. No. Don't matter once ur ide cables r long enough.
3. once the leads r long enough(which they will be) ur usb will be fine, ur keyb mouse is attacdhed to ur mobo so that aint gonna change.

I get the feel u've never done this before...

Cd drives r usually in the same area n most pc cases. It doesn't matter where they are once ur cables are long enough. Why do u want to change the case??
