Mother Board does fit in new case

[Sir Loin]

I am getting ready to swap a motherboard into an old case, someone told me once that sometimes the motherboard doesn't fit into the case correctly, is this true? Before I do anything I need to know this so it doesn't haunt me later on.

Thanks,
Sir Loin

give the information and specs on the board and the case. what you said was pretty useless.

It all depends on the form factor of your case.

Take a look at the link for info on the different form factors.

Most of todays mobos are in the atx form factor and therefore require an atx case.
