Sorry to bother you guys about this, as it probobly seems very obvious to you guys

Recently my CPU just packed in, so i've decided to get a whole new motherboard and CPU, and a PSU to power it all. I've managed to find all this stuff, within my price range, but now i'm begining to worry about if it will fit into my case. The case is nothing special, and i've managed to find some information from another one on ebay

Here is the information

Case Type : ATX Midi Tower

Drive Bay-5.25" : 4 Open

Drive Bay-3.5": 1 Open

Motherboards : All types of mainboard up to 244mm

PSU : 400W

Cooling Fans : X Space for 2 fans

External Ports : USB, Audio ports (Headphones and Mic)

Expansion slots : 7 Full Size

Other Features : Blue neon light on front panel

Now, that says all motherboards upto 244mm will fit in the case, but the motherboard i am looking at is ATX Form Factor, 12"x 9.6"(30.5cm x 24.5cm)

Now, one way that fits in with the 244 (Near enough) but the other way, it is way off. The case says it is ATX, and so does the motherboard. But by the looks of this, i dont think its going to fit

So, will i need to buy a new case to fit all this in? Thankyou for your time guys, and sorry for the long post

if they both say atx, then they will fit, but make sure one doesnt say micro atx

[Neodr31]

It doesn't say Micro ATX, but i'm not sure if the information is entirely correct.

I know my motherboard at the moment is a Micro ATX, and the dimentions on the specs dont look all that large

why dont you give links so we can tell you?

[Neodr31]

What i posted above is the only information i have on the case, i can post you the links of the motherboard i am getting though

The information on the case is above, but from what i read on there, the motherboard may be too big

It says it supports upto 244, but the dimesions of the motherboard are 255 via 305. So, just need some reasurance that this wont fit, before i go out and buy a case for no reason

Ok, Update. Here is a site with the specs of the case

As i said, nothing too special

[Viper-Inc]

i was just asking if it will fit. because that is what i will be getting. (if u notice all prices are in AUD)

[public_eyesore]

oh im sorry, yes it will

[Neodr31]

Right, i just got a little worried with the 244 max that was described with the ebay listing, And the motherboard is PCI Express, so i thought it may need a full sized tower
