i'm such a noob! will this case fit my mobo

[the 6th jackson]

im goin to buy a p4p800 mobo that is 9.6in wide and 12in tall. will a blue uv reactive case from xoxide that says "Fits any Standard ATX motherboard (12" x 10.2")" does that mean it will fit anything up to that big or it will only fit a board with those deminsions......i know what your thinking---wat a noob!

It should fit since the case claims that it can handle any standard atx mobo. You can always mod it if it doesn't fit :D

[imbest123]

It will fit in any ATX size case.

once again i got another noob question. if the mobo has 2 fan ports where do the other fans plug into?.........i'm learning slowly but surely

The motherboard mounting holes will be in the same locations no matter if the motherboard is 12" x 10.2" or 9.6" x 12".

i got a question
isn't it better to use a 3 to 4 pin connector so that it doesn't drain power from the mobo, unless you need the rpm speed?

It's recommended that you feed power to the case fans directly from the power supply. This is because some of the newer fans available are the high speed, high flow types that can tax the motherboards power circuits because of the power required to spin the fan blades so fast. But there are RPM power adapters available the will connect the fan directly to the power supply and still allow RPM monitoring through the motherboard if you want it.
