Many of your parts can be carried over to a new case. The motherboard should be a standard size, but some OEMs use custom boards, so it's hard to be sure. You can definitely reuse the hard drive, card reader, DVD, graphics card and RAM. If you want to just get some practice building a computer, moving all of these parts to a new case would give you that opportunity, and then once you've learned how to mount and connect all of the components, you can buy a new motherboard and CPU to start the upgrade process.
Super. I actually thought of buying this mb: http://www.edbpriser.dk/bundkort/asrock-b75m-gl-id-6865719.aspx?q=asrock+b75 to fit in the current case(micro-atx I think), as I don't need space for many hdd's and so on.
Is it a good idea, or is using a micro-atx case too limiting?
