compatible???

hi

i was wondering if the 'Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case' is compatible with the 'GIGABYTE GA-MA790FX-DS5 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD MOTHERBOARD'. if it is, it would save us a lot of work and money

thx for any help

Antec-900 should take any ATX or smaller board. Is there something unusual about the board that worries you?

Yeah, as a general rule of thumb - any ATX board will fit in any ATX case, but there are exceptions... like proprietary dimensions (Usually only a problem with HP, Dell, or other pre-assembled computers though). Beware, because there are other versions of ATX though. uATX(or Mini-ATX), Micro-ATX, Baby-AT, and Full-AT. Just make sure the case matches the board spec.
