Question:

I have an empty PC case that I would like to use to build my own system. How would I find out what size motherboard and power suppy I would need for it .

Answer:

1.  Check to see if the mainboard has the following:
  • Connector ports rotated 90 degrees (PS/2, COM, LPT-1)
  • 20 or 24 pin power connector
If you answered yes to both, it is safe to assume your mainboard is of the ATX form factor.

There's no limit to what you can achieve if you don't mind who gets the credit.
