Will This Motherboard Fit Into My Case?

Hmm, not sure...I saw this at the shop so I thought it was quite cool. I dont want something too expensive...
 
I just looked at the picture that shows behind the computer, and i dont think it will fit? How do you know for sure that it will fit? The slots look different to the one in the picture?

Not sure what your asking... you mean the i/o panel on the rear(where usb/ps2/audio connections are)? As with those you just pop the old one outta your case and pop in the one that comes with your motherboard.
 
In your case there will be a rectangular hole. That is a standard size. If you put your motherboard straight up to that there would be lots of gaps, so there is a insert that is specific to the motherboard. This has holes in the right places for each connector.

Whole for this insert (labelled I/O panel):

Example of the insert, and how it mtches up to the motherboard;

This pops out easily, and the new motherboard will come with another one that will fit into the rectangular hole, and will match up with the connectors on the new motherboard.

Hope that answers your question, Doug.
