Old 2005-06 Super Talent Case bought from local DAV/thrift store.

[Deavan_Noah]

Hello. This is my first post. I aquired this case from my local thrift store in Springfield, MO & there isnt much information about it on the box it came with (& nothing signifigant on the internet). The box says that it was made by Super Talent, but they seem to have been only making RAM, and storage drives for a while now. The case itself is described as a mid-tower atx case, & is "portable". I have pictures of the case in my phone, but not sure how to put them here. It came with a 350 PSU that turned out to be dead, & some a small bag of screws, standoffs, and a motherboard buzzer... let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

We need pictures. 
Does your phone have Bluetooth? If so,  it can be used to transfer  photos.
About other ways to transfer photos from your phone to your PC.
Many smart phones will interface with Windows 10 via the USB connection.
Alternatively, use Apple cloud, Google Drive, or Depp Box.
Her is some information about how to use a either a cloud service or some other way to transfer files

I'm not sure what the question is...it's a decent enough case...

[BC_Programmer]

I just hope they aren't asking for help figuring out why it won't power up... 

[patio]

Heee....

[Deavan_Noah]

I know it has nothing in it. It's just a case. Im not that stupid guys. XD i was just curious about the case because i wasn't able to find specifications online fron the serial/model number.

[patio]

Thats why i asked...what specs ? ?...You have the case there.

@deavan,
welcome to the forum.

here is a list of a typical case description.
as you'll see, all the info it shows you'll be able to determine since you already have the case.
usually it's the other way around.

I mean yeah, i guess just observing the case will give those details, but i guess i have been asking the wrong question then. Should i mod this to become more up to date, or leave it how it is. Im not sure. My main concerns are the fan compatibility and the fact the psu is mounted on top... maybe if i made it function similar to a actual desktop and not a tower... idk.

[patio]

Modding is up to you...personal choice...

As far as upper rear it's actually the gest location for the PSU

I'm with patio.
honestly, PSU at top or on bottom, the changes/benefits in airflow would be so small that they'd be negligible.
they have only moved to the bottom in the last, say 3-5 years, it's just a current design trend more than anything else.
in fact, one design flaw of the bottom mounted PSU is their insane ability to suck up dust and fibres.

your choices of fans will not be limited at all.
you have options for front, top, rear and side fans.
and the size of those holes for mounting fans look like 72, 80 or maybe 90mm, which are all readily available. (as are any other size)

Out of curiosity, how did you determine that the PSU was dead?  If you simply tried to plug it in and turn it on, that wont work as it requires a load to be attached.

The case looks pretty generic, the only reason it is deemed portable is because of the carrying handle on top.  This makes it more "luggable" than "portable".

also of concern would be the lack of front USB ports (can't see any from the photos).
especially no USB3 front ports.  any new motherboard will have a USB3 header for front port access but your case won't be able to take advantage of that.
small detail I know but may be worth considering if the case is worth the effort.
after all, a new one with all the mod-cons from well known brands with history in the market place can be had for under $AUD60.
