What type of computer case do i have?

I have no clue. I like to buy a new mobo. from a website :





Width 14.6 in.


Depth 17.9 in.


Height 7.2 in.





this is my dimension for my computer





is it micro atx or just atx?What type of computer case do i have?
More then likely, you will. ATX motherboards will probablynot fit inside.


If you or someone can measure the current mobo, (be careful, turn off and unplug machine, and ground yourself for static electricity) then you can find a mobo that has the same dimensions, most list sizes when they sell them. Check out Newegg, Mwave, TigerDirect, to name a few.


Typical ATX are 9.5 x 11.5 or there abouts. Mini are a bit smaller. The case holes that mount the mobo need to match up,


Check with the maker of your computer, they might have upgrades. Some cases are custom made and the mobos are also, so they cannot be replaced with a standard motherboard.


You might be better off to buy a new case, $40 up, and install new parts in it, along with some of your old parts, such as cd drive, hard drives, floppy disk drive, etcWhat type of computer case do i have?
Micro ATX motherboards are usually 9.6'; X 9.6';.


ATX motherboards are usually 12'; X 9.6';





You need to measure your standoff spacing to see which you can use.
You can go with Micro ATX and ATX. Nothing bigger.
