OK, I have a Sony Vaio. It sucks for cooling. But I was thinking. This is an Asus mobo. It probably (I haven't really looked) isn't ATX, but it might be.

Well, is there a way to get this mobo, and everything to go into another bigger case for better cooling and heatsinks?

This case is so compacted that games freeze because it gets too hot.

If there is a way, please tell me how.

There's a way for everything.
Just get a cheap case at your local store. (20 bucks or less used)

Mark the screw hole on the case (put a sharpie or other marker through the hole to mark) Drill a smaller hole into the case, and then screw the mobo stand-offs in by grabbing them with a pair of pliers and twisting.

Boom! New case for your Sony Vaio!

Or if you want, get a DIY plexi case and do the same thing for a much better look.

Nevermind, got help from bigred on aim.

I can just buy a case and put it in.

Thanks for your time though.

hehe, I found out bigred uses it, and it's easier to ask questions and talk on there then here.

Especially if you need answers quick.
