My old case is being a pain in the jacksy(the front keeps coming off) and so i`m looking at buying a new one(next week).
I think i understand some of the terms etc bout cases but i`m just hoping that you guys could help me.
I kinda fancy this case:http://www.cclonline.com/product-inf...r_id=0&tid=n/a

Form Factor-ATX PSU-400W

I think i know what the form factter is, it`s the type of PSU(Ain`t it?) but where it says PSU does that mean how much i need, or how much it will fit or what.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh yer what does the midi stand for/mean?

ATX PSU-400W means the type of psu you'll get with the case, they cannot predict your components so they could not tell you how much you'll need.

ATX if the form factor of the Motherboard it will fit, the common factors are: Micro ATX (home theater PC's), ATX (standard PC's), and Extended ATX (Usually servers because they usually have the capacity for 2 CPU's)

Midi is the size of the case, Midi cases are good for standard PC's as they are small enough to not domiate the work space, however large enough to hold all the stuff you need, however If you have one of the Newer GFX cards, you might need bigger.

Like kanoakavirus the PSU-400W means you get a 400W PSU with the case, however it is recomended that you don't use PSU's that are included with cases as they are generally cheap ones that could fail and take your components with them. My recomendation would be to just keep using the PSU that you are using at the moment as that is powerfull enough for your computer, However if you feel you need a new PSU as well, feel free to come back to the forums and ask for advice on which one to get.
