Here is what upgraded to: “Dark base pro 900”
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H6J…UTF8&psc=1
Here are my issues:
Performance is fine, size/space was issue with small box and fat fingers. So now I have 1 more slot for hard drive (and could expand 1-2 more) but no more SATA slots with current hardware…Didn’t realize it till swapped hardware from old case to new Dark base pro 900 case. As it stands it is just really a case swap but now I was thinking of adding another hard drive.
1) Since I am using the PCI slot for add on card with 2 SATA connections do PCI add-on cards with 4 SATA connections exist?
2) I previously had only 2 fans in old case, now I have 3 fans with option for MANY more but I am limited on motherboard with fan pin connectors for just 2? upgrade motherboard? other options?
3) If upgrade then what parts can transfer over vs what would need upgrading? I would prefer to NOT upgrade motherboard/cpu/ram given performance was perfectly fine.
4) Really looking to make more fans work and add 1 more hard drive with option for 1-2 more down road…
Appreciate all advice….
