will this MSI Socke A K7T Motherboard fit into this case

the board spec says ATX form factor and I found case on newegg site under ATX Mini Tower. I'm just worried because the specs for the case says "Micro/Flex ATX" What's flex?

I'm just looking for the smallest case this will fit in that is the least expensive.

Flex ATX is a slightly smaller standard like micro-atx. I think you will not get a full ATX board in that case.

Yup. That MB is never going to fit. Take a look at the back of the case. Four card slots.

Look at the motherboard. Seven card slots.

Most cases that hold a full-size ATX motherboard are pretty similar in size (unless you get the big "server" cases).

If you are willing to risk low-end cases (and the low-end power supplies that come with them, this other Apex case, a mid-tower, seems to have good reviews and is dirt cheap.

Personally, I'm wary of low-end power supplies, though. I've used 'em. Lots of 'em. But they've caused me enough problems that I gave them up a few years ago.
