Well that board should be ATX Form Factor and you just get a case that says it fits all standard ATX Form motherboards. Mind you don't get a micro-ATX standard as that's a smaller board setup obviously from the name

there are only two or three common mobo sizes: ATX, ATX mini, and maybe some other weird one (apple may make their own size, not sure)

BTX is making its way into the market, meant for massive systems if im not mistaken one i saw had 12 bays mounted in front, and space for a really big mobo

You don't want a mini-atx case, you want an ATX Form factor case as that's what your motherboard is and even if it is mini or micro-atx you still might want to upgrade in the future. Get a mid-tower ATX Form Factor case.

Thats a good cpu. I recomend getting the Mid tower case plus a Thermaltake Volcan11 Xasier edition and OC the cpu to 2.3ghz. I did that in my old system and worked really good and was completely stable. Also before you do that make sure it is a Barton core.

This is the AMD M/B DDR400 Dual APG8x made for AMD XP Processors
