So, I've had this stock HP setup for quite a while now.

I want to upgrade my board, but first I want to get a new case.

Right now I have a MS-7826 Stock board in the PC which is a uATX (Micro)
( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03748942&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N329 )

I was thinking about going to go pickup this ThermalTake case
( http://www.microcenter.com/product/421948/Full_Tower_Gaming_Case )

and I was just wondering if it could fit in there? If the specs are correct so it can work.
I'm pretty sure it will work because the board says uATX on the website, and the case says it fits a mATX, and if I've done my research correct, they're the same thing so it will work? ;D


[ To all the people questioning why I have a stock HP.
My uncle works at HP and get's builds half off.
It came stock with
i7 4770k
8GB Ram (Bad)
GTX 660 2GB
600W PSU (Bad)
HP Liquid Cooling (Bad)
Ehh, it works fine for $600 though. ]

The HP board is a std mATX, so it should fit fine. But it's going to look tiny in that full ATX case. Oh, and don't forget to check where you put the standoffs. You don't want to add any you don't need. They will ground out the back of the board if they are under it.
