looking for new case

My Mainboard is 24.4cm X 24.4cm ( W x L )
and the case im looking at is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144111

it says that it holds a board up to 9.6" X 9.6" im nod good with math....will this fit? and if so when i revieve the case do i need to do any work other than swaping everything, like resetting stuff (you know the complicated stuff that confuses average people) lol

thanks

Is there a reason why you perfer that case compared to a mid-tower. The mb will "just fit" but when you start adding the other components will there beenough room? Will there be enough room for proper ventilation? Is there room for additional add-ons should you want them?

 

well thats what i was looking to find out i mean, i have all 4 of my slots filled in the back (graphics card,extra usb slots,sound card,and tv tuner) i like that case because it looks cool and its small but idkk my current one is way old and it needs to go its been kicked and is all smashed up ha

 

Goodness it may seem cool but read the first post:

"Pros: Motherboard tray makes assembly much easier....


Cons: Power supply bites. Mine died in less than 24 hours.
Flimsy internal construction.... More »


Other Thoughts: Used to buy shuttle XPC systems ... those cases are much better constructed than this one."

And the second certainly doent give a glowing review either, junk made to look pretty with bells and whistles and I'm sure you'll have serious heat issues.

Do some more research:

Thermaltake make some serious cases you may get the look you want but more importantly not compromise fuctionality.

Not sure of your idea of cool but this kicks arse in my view and your sys will run like a dream.

 

I prefer the Chenming 118 version, but if you want the garish colors, you have to go with the Aspire version. They will hold a standard PSU if you use short-chassis optical drives. It takes standard microATX mobos so your's should fit. Divide the cm measurements by 2.54 to get inches (sorry, I don't let people get away with innumeracy...).

I am a Thermaltake guy myself. I have a "Shark" and I built my son's computer in a "Tsunami" they are pretty pricy but worth every penny in my opinion. If you go to newegg you can find a lot better deal on them than at your local puter store, atleast I did.
