My BI desktop died looking for a little help

I've been looking at the refurbished list in the WIKI section for a new PC. All I see is mostly SFF PC's and they don't look like they have room for extra HD's and I rather get everything included. I was hopping to move my WD purple, GEFORCE GTS and a 1 tb ssd over to the new PC and trying to find specs on the PC cases is turning out to be a bigger challenge. I do want a something in the i7/i9 area because of the way AI things are going I want to make sure I have what I need, So is it possible to gave the WD HD outside the case? I'm lost. My Acer desktop has a fan problem and after fixing that windows will not load so I'm going to need help with the BI key when I get my newer pc up and running.
Thanks!
 
Pricing is crazy high right now but I have had good luck with Dell Refurbished products. If you have access to Costco they have some good deals on new products from time to time.
 
I found one on Amazon Renewed, I had to look for towers, towers still have room for another 3.5" drives. I'm getting an i7-9700 and I'll have no problems moving my WD and GEFORCE GTX over. Still need to find out how I can get my BI product key active again, can't deactivate it on a dead pc.
 
Have you tried activating on the new PC? Should work unless it's been activated multiple times. If it fails then lodge a support ticket with support from within BI and they should resolve the issue.
