what kind of case is it?

[Josh42]

Is there any way to tell what kind of case you have? For example, my friend has an old (80's) desktop computer and plans to gut it for new stuff. How do we know what form mobo to get him? Thanks.

[rrick31]

try motherboards.org they have a section that tells you what style of mobo you have.
good luck

A case of that vintage unless proprietary will most likely be baby AT or full AT. In either case a baby AT MB will fit fine.

I guess an AT mobo will fit in an old 486 case. I'm not sure about the 286's, but i guess the 386's case will do too.
