Say again? What is your CPU and mobo? At least make your links clickable!

See the FAQ in upper left for instructions. I tried to type it for you, but the dang thinks my instructions ARE links and screws it up! LOL

EDIT: Now that I can see what the heck is going on: You need an ATX case (not a micro ATX) but which size depends on several things, how many drives etc, where is it going floor or desktop or cabinet, and personal taste (I like mine big, my hands are large and I'm clumsy-i need the room to work in it). Do want a sliding tray for the mobo? How many usb connectors in front or back etc. Watch the psu that comes if it, if ur getting one with a psu.

Try googling some case reviews to get of what options/looks/size you want as well as budget considerations.

Have fun shopping!

I own that board, I'm not that impressed. I don't think it's better than the old Abit IS7, even though it does have a couple more features (and cost twice as much). You can read my review of the board at Sysopt.com.

Anyway, you might consider Newegg's Chieftec cases, they are VERY high quality and reasonably priced.

Mobo trays are more effort than they're worth. Every case I've had with them...I've wanted to use them, and that always requires removing most of my cables, etc. I got to the point where I gave up last time and simply accessed my board the old fashioned way.
