I have a small case for my eMachines EL1352, it says my motherboard (or mainboard if that's the same thing) is EL1350 according to PC Wizard. Is it possible to get a bigger case for this motherboard? If there is a midsize case that will work with that motherboard, could you link me to a website or possibly some stores that usually sell them?

Searching deeper and I found the motherboard:

To be precise. it's a mATX board with lesser height than a normal one. Its mounting holes follow ITX standards. This means that any mini/mid/full tower case that support ITX boards will support the board inside your emachines. But an ITX case might not fit your board ( due to extended width and height ).

Just do a bit Googling and it tells that your emachines case is a mini tower, meaning that the motherboard inside is in mATX form, which will fit in any cases that support mATX motherboards.
Not all motherboards are ATX though, and a lot of people are telling me that eMachines is notorious for having non-standard mother boards.. I want a sure fire way to know is all I'm asking.
