Case Dilemma - Which CM do I keep?

So I have my current Athlon64 setup in my Cooler Master ATC-200 that I bought new 3 or 4 years ago. I absolutely love the case. It was my favorite at the time I bought it and it still would be in my top 5. However, I've just acquired an ATC-201 from a friend. It is the 'black widow' version and has a window. This too is an incredible and classic case.

I think I can only keep one unless I decide to ditch the Dell case that currently houses my server and use it for one of the 2. However, that will require a new motherboard for my P4 due to Dell's wonderful you-can-only-use-our-mobos-in-our-case design (mainly system wiring).

What would you guys do? Stupid dilemma, and I wish I could make up my mind... :eek:
 
Eh. Just mod the dell mobo into one of the cases... swap the wiring over with it. Shouldn't be too hard. And if it flames, post pics! :D

Hahaha. I'll setup my webcam for a live feed. You can see the carnage in all its glory. :D

Will that work though? The Dell wiring is a ribbon cable and I don't know how I'd mod the cable to work with a normal (CM) power switch. :confused:
 
I WANT THE 201B, do you live in the UK by anychance?

If so, Ill offer a nice price for it :)
 
Do a google search and find the pinout of the dell. It shouldn't be too hard to connect your CM's connections to the front panel connections, as long as you know what they are.

This is true. Altho the Dell case is so rediculously quiet. Ugh... back to the same. Haha. I think I'm leaning towards selling off the ATC-200....
