    Hello,
    I have a Dell Dimension C521 case that has a personally built PC in it, but I would like to update it. I'm wondering is it worth keeping it or should I just get a new case? I'm on the look out for budget high spec simming, for things like Euro Truck Sim 2, FSX and Ship Simulator.

    More info? People can't really tell you if you want to upgrade your case or not, your decision. Although it might be a good idea, and if you are looking to upgrade, what's your budget?

    Well, all I was really wondering would it be worth keeping the case, how good is it at cooling and does the slim lining mean that it is restricted to only some power supplies, GPUs or motherboards and the like. If I were to upgrade to a completely brand new PC the limit would be anywhere to €650, but I'm not ready for one yet, just curious on how much to save up for.

    I would move to a new bigger case TBH.

    Best bet would be to figure out a budget and get a recommendation on a build from here.

    Most Dells are BTX which means the motherboard is on the opposite side of the case than most motherboards (ATX). It looks like the C521 is too.

    So you'd be better off getting anew case.
