Now before we go onto powering this computer, lets take a look at cases. The motherboard we are using has a Micro ATX form factor. There are 4 basic form factors, so make sure you look to see what size motherboard you want when picking a computer case. Some larger cases will accomidate multiple form factor motherboards, while if you pick to small of a case, you motherboard may not fit. ( Trust me, I have run into this before)

We chose to go with the DEEPCOOL MATREXX 30 Micro ATX Case Tempered Glass Panel. I like the look of the front, it has a glass panel, so you can enjoy the work you did building this computer every time you use it.

The case comes with a build in rear fan for cooling, as well as a slot that will accomidate a DVD/ROM drive.

The case has plenty of room for all the componenets that we are going to put into this build, plus room for future expansion.
