I am about ready to charbroil my PC, please help me.
I have an HP m7460n computer, it has an Asus motherboard, which apparently broke down completely (can't even go to bios.) Now, I'm planning to buy a micro-ATX motherboard : gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H.
Now, my problem is whether the new Gigabyte motherboard will fit inside the case. The case is micro-ATX too, but I read somewhere (I'm about halfway between noob and intermediate when it comes to PC hardware) that you usually have to buy a different case for a new motherboard. I looked at the pictures and the motherboard maps and they aren't very different in layout, but, again, I'm not that good with PC hardware beyond RAM and the video card.
Please.... help me.
-I also have a card reader on the HP case, wonder if that will work with the new mobo?
Thanks
