Hello,
Found a decent looking gateway case. How to tell what type of form factor for motherboard?

Open it up and measure the space between the top and bottom row of fixing holes I can't tell you offhand what size the various form factors are but there's a marked difference. If you post back the measurements, preferably in inches, I can check against anything I have in for repair at the moment later in the day. A Gateway will probably have a standard mini ATX.

This article although a little dated, gives sizes for the various motherboard form factors. It doesn't include extended or pico ATX but likely that won't be an issue. Pic at bottom of page - good article though

Sometimes the various form factors the case will accept are stamped on the motherboard tray itself
Hope it helps
