    Enclosure Custom Case for Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF

    I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 3010 SFf with an i3, 8gbs ram, and a 250gb SSD. This machine is amazingly fast, and I noticed when I popped her open that everything is so crammed in there and I am worried about overheating since it's all crammed. Is there any case that fits this motherboard?

    I have this fantasy project to be able to build my own modular laptop (cpu and gpu mainly).
