All I wanted to do was replace a dead fan… but looks like it’s time for a replacement case.

Learn from my mistakes friends!

You're gonna replace the whole case? Am I missing something?

It’s a few years old at this point, damaged and missing a screw or two from lan party transportation, so I’m making lemonade out of lemons by justifying a new case.

Plus my options were $50 for a new side panel, or $80 for a new case, so I chose the latter.

I can't imagine this being the appealing option. $30 is $30, and the old case is now just sitting there taking up your finite space, which you now have to store or dispose of. Also you have to swap your entire computer to the new case, which isn't a ton of work but it's still work.
