Hi all,

I've had my PC since 2007 but I've grown out of my "big case with shiny lights" phase and don't game as much. I wouldn't mind swapping my bits into a smaller case but it seems like small cases these days won't take my motherboard.

I'm not especially current with PC bits so could someone give me a bit of advice as to the smallest cases I could get my P35DS3R into? Currently I have an Antec 900
 
Best plan would be to have a browse through the mid size case section and see which models you like, then pick the smallest one that suits your needs.

Having a budget helps.
 
Budget isn't huge as this isn't a vital case swap, probably the £50 area would be ok.

Is there a particular term to look for on the case specs that would say if the motherboard would fit?

Anything that says it takes an ATX motherboard will fit. The other thing you have to watch out for is the height of your cpu cooler.
