ATX Case compatability question

[garyknowz1]

**Title Edit: compatibility**

I asked this in my build topic, but it got kinda buried in there amongst other questions, so I thought I'd post it separately here.


My old PC is built with an Xpider full-tower aluminum case with a P4C800e DLX which I believe is an ATX form factor, which means that my Xpider case is form factor ATX as well.

However, does this mean that it will likely accommodate the newer model ATX mobos, such as the EVGA Nvidia nForce 780i or the Asus Maximus Formula? Or is there different types of ATX forms?

If I can get away with not having to purchase a case, that would be great.

Thanks!

There are different standard size of motherboard. e.g. ATX, m-ATX, mini iTX, Flex ATX.

most mid-size or full-size cases will fit most motherboards, full atx or smaller! Heck , I put my P5K in a 10 year old case, painted black of course!

A mid-ATX/ Full ATX tower will suit ATX and mATX any way.

Thanks! More than likely it would work then.

I was looking around last night, and I found this case which is, albeit a very minor aesthetic difference, is identical to mine. Purchased it right around the same time too:

For the price the Elite 330, Centurion 5, or Antec 900 seem better.
