Case questions

babyvodka · 10-09-2008, 02:54 PM

Ok so ive only ever had this one computer, and ive only taken the side pannel off for dusting and always wanted a new case because this one is ugly.

So anyways my hunt for info on new cases began by searching wether i could just put any computer in any case. and the answer was no.

so now i need the help, i want a new case to house my motherboard

Motherboard
Socket LGA 775
Chipset ATI - RC410
Bus speed 533MHz
Number of PCI slots (total/free) 4/3

That's the same model as mine so I'll stick around, just I was told that I could use any case as long as my computer wasn't considered to be old.

I'm looking at these two:
Linky 1

Linky 2

They look quite expensive for what they are. I bought my Thermaltake Mambo for £30. Dont let the looks fool you, it has plenty of holes for fans, is made to be lightweight and its damn quiet (mines got 6 120mm+ fans in and its near silent)

If it is an ATX motherboard you need an ATX case. If it is a MicroATX motherboard you need a MicroATX case. A while back Dell was trying to push BTX but it never went anywhere.

It is likely an ATX motherboard or mATX motherboard, find out which and just get a case to match. If you go to newegg's case section you can sort for which type you want under form factor. The Antec 900 has a side panel and blue lights if you have a full ATX board, and the Antec 300 has the same I believe if you have a mATX board.

mATX will fit in an ATX case just fine
