Looking for Input on PC components.

I will take your word for it, you've already been a great help!

Just a quick question about cases for this build: Mid-Tower cases can fit full-ATX boards, correct?

If so, would it be best to go for a mid-tower case, or a full-tower case?

 

[Abstract Hero]

ATX boards go into ATX cases and Mid-Tower.

Go with mid tower.
Full tower isn't all that necessary in your case.

 

[Vizier]

The board I am going with is 12.0 x 9.6 dimensions. This is going to be enough to fit a full-ATX board AND the power supply?

EDIT - Sorry about the constant bombardment of questions that seem noobish. I just want to be able to say in a Large Ham voice "THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG!" without the jinxing coming up.

Also, which tower case would you recommend for optimum air cooling?

 

[Abstract Hero]

There is always room for the PSU. Never worry if your PSU will fit because the standard is... IT HAS TO!

Now the Antec 1200 is a huge case so I wouldn't worry. Everything will fit. It is a full ATX case and you have an ATX board.

As a matter of fact you will have EXTRA room.


Don't feel bad for asking questions. If I had never asked questions in my own posts I wouldn't be able to answer yours now.

As for great cases? The Twelvehundred you chose is one of THE best.

Heh. Well, let's say I wanted to shave a few bucks off by getting a case around $100 or less. What would be the best call then? I am having trouble deciding between the Lian Li PC-K62, the CoolMaster HAF 922, the Rosewill ARMOR, the NZXT Digital Arctic-Camo and the Antec 900 Case if I went mid tower. For Full tower, I would be unsure what would even be safe in that price range...

 

[Abstract Hero]

I would say any of those.

All three are great cases from great brands.

You don't need a full tower. You need a MID Tower or more.

 

[Vizier]

So if I were to get the Lian-Li PC-K62 case, would you recommend anything else, or would that put the icing on this whole machine with the cooling performance?

 

[Abstract Hero]

Cooling wise, you are good to go. I don't see anywhere else you could really improve.

That puts the grand total down to $1770! You've helped me save over 50 dollars on this, so I really must be thanking you!
