Case for MSI P67A-GD65 B3 Motherboard

[Ser3nity]

Hey all. I've purchased a new motherboard, the MSI P67A-GD65 B3 ( http://hr.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65--B3-.html ) and I need to get a case for it.

I had my eyes set on the Antec 900 ( http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MjcwNQ== ) but I worry that it will not fit this case.

The case supports: Mini-ITX, microATX and Standard ATX, as far as I can see on the site. As for the motherboard, I cannot really tell which type it is. One occurrence I found stated it was XL-ATX, but I cannot find any other reference. Can someone tell me the size of this motherboard, and if this case would fit it? / if not, which cases would? Thanks in advance.

The motherboard appears to be a standard ATX, which will fit that case. That case is a good choice for this mobo, and will handle almost all dual card setups.

Agreed that motherboard fits the Antec 900 just fine! It would even fit the Antec 300!

How exactly for you get the back ports to work with these cases. I'm looking at the same idea here but i notice the knockouts on the antec's are not the same as the ports on the back of the p67a-gd65

p.s. i've already been told it is possible, but was wondering how it works? do you just cut it out or do you just knock out the whole square. is there a bracket or what?

Alltheicons - the cases have removable back plates, and the motherboard should come with a new one. The new one will be specific for the new board. If you didn't get one, well, you are hosed.
