Form Factor microATX - 9.60 × 9.60 inches (243.84 × 243.84 mm


on the first line... good news!

most cases - as in dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, can take this board.

just find one that is ATX/mATX.

If your budget was around $70 on that Startech PSU, what would you spend on a new case/psu? That might help narrow it down!

What size PSU did you want? 500W?

I was just browsing Newegg and was going to suggest Antec, too.

Others like Thermaltake, Cooler Master, and Enermax have nice cases and psus, but they don't always put together the best combos. but you could always buy separates.
