If your motherboard is in an ATX case, you obviously need an ATX case...

"9.6 x 9.6" what? cm/in/km/ft ?

I wouldn't be so sure. HP isn't exactly known to use standard "ingredients" :)

Thanks for the help but I was wondering if there was something else. It says there are mid,micro,large,etc. atx cases. I was wondering about that.

inches.

If you get a case that is MUCH larger, the board will still fit.
And.. you have a square board? Is this the Rasberri Pi?(check spelling)

this is everything

uATX or larger then. Basically anything.

So it's a uATX MB, still fits perfectly into an ATX case.

Thanks DarkChristmastaMethod and Pantheon! :D thought Id get your feedback on the case im going to get: http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Three-Hundred-Gaming-Computer/dp/B000GQMHBI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=21EVEZG2559WH&coliid=I4TSWXVIXFZ3Q

Did the old case break?
Are you trying to get the maximum amount of hard drive slots?
By the way, that board only has ONE PCI-X slot. You can only put one card in (no SLI/Crossfire, ever). I also see it only has two ram slots. Unless you can put in two 2GB memory sticks you're going to run into memory issues.
Also this board looks REMARKABLY similar in layout and features to my Intel D101GGC which is most sincerely continued (2003 technology). It will definitely play most games well, but its showing its age (Pentium4 3Ghz Hyperthreaded).

The better purchase long term may be a fully loaded board. Get the fancy graphics cards later, but then you can use them as soon as you do.

Ive got a new psu and gpu in it. The board right now isnt the biggest issue for me. Im getting anothe fm1 apu (a8-3850) and it already has 8 gigs of ballistix ram.

plus I dont want to purchase another copy if windows 7 and everthing.

Nobody ever really just WANTS to buy Windows... B^)
I was just going off the picture of the motherboard. Obvously you got the 8GB variant. That'll do quite nicely.

The Antec 300 is a GREAT medium sized case. Good air flow, decent amount of space, sturdy, and not bad to look at.
