    Hello @Cesarito32 and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community Forum. If the transferred build is not booting or posting there may be a incompatibility issue.

    What is the error or error code you are getting a boot up?

    What is the old pc make and model? What is the make and model of the case you moved it to?

    I think it's a custom pc because i don't see a make and model. the error code on the motherboard is 0.2 and its put into a NZXT S340 which is a somewhat old case. the fans don't spin either

    Looking up the board model on Google, it looks like the board was produced around 2004-2005, with the age of the board, we wouldn't be able to assist with repairs.

    I really wouldn't see it to be feasible. You would be dealing with obsolete parts if you can find them third party/used online.
