So, I've had this computer system that I built quite a few years back. And occasionally I'll have a problem here or there and I'll get it fixed. But now I want to give it a nice case instead of the huge 'Frankenstein' one that I've been using (gutted it and put new parts in it). My problem is that I can't seem to wrap my mind around how big or small of a case I should get. So, now here's the specs. I have not needed to post the specs of my computer in a long time and I've never needed to post it for others to see, so if I'm missing something that I should have on this list please let me know.

Motherboard:
MSI K9A2GM-FIH MA2+ AMD Chip-set; 2600FSB DDR2 667/800/106 Hybrid Crossfire, mATX
Graphics Card:
ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
Network:
Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

Any help would be wonderful. It's mostly what size should I look at a Mid-Tower, ATX Mid-Tower, Mini-Tower...etc....

Ok thanks. Ah sorry I'm hoping to spend under $100.... But as I try to power up the desktop.... Um I think might need to get a new power supply also. Things turn on but no beeps from the motherboard nor picture on the monitor. Ugh and I tore it apart the other day to try to fix that problem.

If your using the same equipment and the only thing that is changed is the case, you probably do not need a new PSU. Make sure not to forget to plug in the -12V 4 pin power rail in addition to the 24 pin one. Don't mistake the PCIE rail for the -12V rail. Double check to make sure everything's seated properly.

As always, remember to use an anti static wrist strap and if possible an anti static mat.

Just to be clear though, are you saying the computer & fans power on but the monitor is not coming on?

Yes everything is plugged and re plugged in properly.

So let me just specify the fan on the processor goes on, but when I have the video card plugged in that fan tries to turn on, about the time I should hear a beep that signals everything is working I don't.

I have a motherboard this is compatible with everything that I've been using (it's more of a basic motherboard not a gaming one that I've been using) and it still does not power on. That is why I think the PSU is either dead or dying. ...or I hope that is the problem, since it's one of the easiest things to replace.
