Hello, I wanted to ask if it’s possible to migrate the may components of acer predator Orion 3000 po3-600 to a new case. The case that I am looking for is the Corsair 4000X rgb. I would like to change the case without changing the motherboard. Thank you

    Yes, the only issue as Jack suggests is the front panel ports. They are on that 'diving board' extension on the front of your MB and the third party cases have no provisions for them. You will have to either go without those ports of cobble together some wiring adapters for them, specifically the two audio ports and the two USB ports.

    Thank you for your answer. I was really looking to buy a new airflow case cause the stock one just doesn’t keep up.

    Yes, the PO3-600's DTX mainboard should easily fit the Corsair's microATX mainboard mounts and screw holes just fine. The only issue may be placement of the external ports which might require longer cables or extension cables.
