Hey everyone! I'm rocking an Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition that I love performance-wise—it's got a solid 3060 Ti and some upgraded RAM—but I really dislike the case. The airflow isn't great, and cable management is a total pain. I'm thinking about switching the components to a new standard case that's easier to work with. My question is: can I transfer everything into a new case, like an ATX? Are there any compatibility issues I should be aware of, such as a proprietary motherboard or PSU that could complicate things? I'd appreciate any insights or experiences from those who have tackled this before!

I can’t speak for that exact model, but I had an Aurora 12. The motherboard won't fit in regular cases unless you get pretty hands-on with modifications. The power supply is also non-standard, which limits your options. In the end, I just removed the GPU and decided to stick with the original casing.
Got it! Sounds like I might be better off just getting a new board and PSU. Thanks for clarifying!
