Cons :
- Most official A4000D tower cases are crap and overpriced
- A generic ATX case will need a lot of metal working to get the motherboard ports to work.
- A generic ATX case will need the motherboard plate drilling (and possibly welding) to align with A4000D mountings
- You'll need a bus board to turn the slots 90' DAMN expensive.
- If you dont get a bus board you'll have to live with wonky zorro cards which do not align with the case slots.
- You'll convert an Iconic A4000D into a soul-less unrecognisable PC.
- You'll need an ATX to A4000D PSU adapter.
Pros :
- Better heat dissipation.
- Less noisy and arguably more reliable PSU
- Screwless PCI/Zorro & screwless hard drive mounts
- Front facing USB ports (if you have a Deneb)
