There's no point in me giving a specific recommendation of a case without a budget. In short, any ATX sized case from any manufacturer will fit your setup. If you're unsure, you can choose the one I'm using. Zero fitting/clearance issues, guaranteed.

oh, i see...what you and that website are referring to as a cabinet is actually a computer case. i'm assuming the motherboard is what you're having trouble installing in the old case? to be honest with you, just about any current mid-tower or full-tower case is going to house an ATX mobo like your Z77 board just fine. if you're looking for a specific recommendation, you're going to have to list more details about your new system:

- are you planning on doing any overclocking?
- do you have any noise requirements?
- what will the system be used for generally?
- list anything else you think might be pertinent

you mentioned you'll be cooling the CPU w/ the CM Hyper 212 EVO. while it isn't the tallest cooler out there, you'll want to make sure you order a wide enough case so that the cooler doesn't prevent you from installing the side panel. i use the Hyper 212 EVO in one of my machines, and the 212+ in the others. my narrowest case is a Rosewill Armor, which is 7.88" wide. it has a 20mm thick 200mm diameter fan on the side panel, and it still clears the Hyper 212 without a problem. try to stick to a width of 7.75-8" or wider, and you should be just fine clearing the CPU cooler.

1.yes i'm going do overclocking (upto 4.2 ghz)
2.no i have no noise reqiurements
3.i'm a casual gamer mostly used for downloading gaming and emulating and lots of net surfing....
4.i will install a huge beast graphic card later (like gtx 690/ ati 7970....so on)
i have searched and found some cases like
Cooler Master Elite 311 Mid Tower Cabinet- http://www.flipkart.com/cooler-mast...CGNY&ref=33fb2c14-2b63-4dd7-86bd-34b042829357

you can suggest me from other sites (newegg or amazon etc)
but give me suggestion under 50 dollar (3000 rupees)...i'm on a tight budget and will buy a usb 3.0 front panel along with case.....

A case that is 5 yrs old should not give you any problem provided it is ATX form factor. What is your issue? what case / cabinet do you have?

mini tower matx case-frontech xilo

 

[WoodButcher]

MATX form factor and an ATX board. It wouldn't have fit 5 years ago either.

so do u have any suggestion?

 

[WoodButcher]

Really blaze any case that you find attractive that you can live with for a few years will be the best provided it is of the ATX form factor. It is more important that your happy with the case and it's appearance because all cases can be customized a bit to be more functional.
The cooler master you linked looks pretty good, newegg has better pics of the interior look here.

Newegg's is a window model but I'll bet the guts are the same.
How are your modding skills?
first thing I would do with this case would be to cut out the fan grills to allow the fans to move air W/O resriction. Install sound deadening, Those are two of many mods I do to a case before it ever meets the mobo.
But that's just me.


You see my current case is one I bought back in '99 so when you said your case was 4.5 yrs old and wouldn't work,,,, well, let's say I don't think age should ever be an issue.

Besides,,,
my wife is old!

wait a minute,,
she was born after me so,,,,


SHIT!

I'm old too!



My old Toshiba,

It looks a bit different now,
