Measurement Issues

Accidentally bought this case. Turns out it didn't fit the Motherboard I bought. Instead of sending it back I decided to build two pc's. Now I'm tryin to figure out what size Motherboard to put into the case. I'm looking at a 9.6"x 9.6" motherboard, not really sure if it'll work, looking for second opinions

9.6 x 9.6 Is Micro ATX, so any motherboard of that type will fit. I would say that the power supply in the case is likely to be low quality, and unsuitable for a modern build.

Nice little case, junk power supply (Allied). At least it's one of those micro cases that will take a standard ATX power supply.

What motherboards are you looking at? You can get quite a few high quality micro boards, almost all have onboard video, but there are quite a few that also have an AGP or PCI-Ex16 slot for a video card upgrade too.

Wellll it was more of a technical error. I had put the computer together in a wish list 2 months before I actually bought the parts. At one point the motherboard I was gonna buy went out of stock. I then picked out a new motherboard, a full size ATX one. I then added a new case to the wishlist, but I forgot to delete the old case and I ordered the wrong case.

I figured the power supply would be fine but I just decided yesterday to put a new core duo processor and board, so I may have to buy a new case anyway. I may just sell the other case. Who knows
