My case doesn't fit my K7S5A

[xirtam]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good case/power supply for this thing? I know it's picky about the PS.

The Antex SX series looks like a good choice, starting with the SX-630 with a quality 300 watt psu (PP-303XP). Or, since your mobo shipped with a matching i/o plate (I'm assuming) the Enlight 7237 may be another good choice, if you can get it with a different psu (like an Antec). I'm not sure about the Elight psu's.

I just built an ECS K7S5A-based comp. I used an Antec SX635 (350W PS unit). Stable as a rock. That case is a pleasure to work with, highly recommended.

I agree with ubersam

The 300W antec works great with the ECS MB!!!!

I'm currently shoppin for a case/PS for this same mobo. I'm looking at the EVERCASE E4252, cheap from
Newegg

I'll prolly go with the basic E4252, $37 shipped, and pick up a nice Antec PS, like the 350W, at bestbuy for $59.99
a couple others run this setup and say it works well.

I like the Apex case from Microchipcomputers.com for the low end. I got model number CAS-ATX3 for a Linux box I built with this motherboard. Not in the same class of my Antec 1030, which is great, but the Apex has several nice features including an included case fan, all accessory hardware, access to both sides of all drives without removing cards and motherboard mounting plate, and, separate + and - leads for the power LED so you don't have to modify the lead to attach it to the ECS board. The construction is lighter than with Antec cases, though.

I live near Austin, so didn't have to worry about shipping. Not sure I would order it with another $15 or so in shipping cost, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it as a low-budget case for a low budget computer.
