So i was looking to make a super budget old sandy bridge system and i chose all the parts and realised that the Asus P8H61-M that i chose has a form factor of "UATX". thats what it says on the specifications on asuses website. i was looking to use this case i have lying around but im sure it doesn't support this old form factor. would i have to buy an old case for the old for factor or would i just be able to use this case lying around with this motherboard? im not looking for anything pretty i dont care if i have to use zip ties or whatever

UATX or "microATX"(that's how we like to call them these days) (sometimes referred to as µATX, mATX or uATX) is a standard for motherboards that was introduced in December 1997. The maximum size of a microATX motherboard is 9.6 × 9.6 in (244 × 244 mm). The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 12 × 9.6 in (305 × 244 mm). Any new case that supports micro ATX will work for your motherboard.

Any of these cases will work for you:https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_8_10?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=micro+atx+computer+case&sprefix=micro+atx+%2Caps%2C153&crid=1DNZWJT3PGP11
