Heres the deal...Trying to build my roommate a computer but we need to get him a case to start it off. I'm not positive what kind of motherboard we have here. Does any one know if this is an ATX or MINI ATX, it measures out to 9 5/8 x 8 5/8 in

Just buy any ATX case that interests you, unless your intent on getting a smaller (and hotter) case, which I don't think you are. ATX will fit just about any board. Only servers, and select few mobos don't fit ATX, any up to date case will come with mounting supplies for just about any mobo.

Thats what I was lookin to hear. I did that very thing with my computer and it worked out good, but this is for a friend and I would hate for him to waste cash on a case that is useless to him.
