I've read some reviews and topics on forums and heard about ATX cases...What is an ATX case and how can I tell if my case is an ATX case?!
ATX case means that the power supply and other MB connections will fit a motherboard that is designed for Pentium/AMD Athlon type CPUs. The ATX PS connector socket is a 20-pin connector -- two parallel rows of 10 "little square boxes"

ATX cases usually stand upright, a "tower".

It's a case/motherboard sizing standard. Most motherboards are ATX sized unless specificed elsewise. Most typical 16-21" towers are ATX cases.

An easy way to tell is the motherboard power connector. An ATX case has the single 20 pin connector. The 'old' (obsolete) AT case has two (6 pin) connectors for motherboard power. They both can be desk or tower.

The ATXs cases also shut the power from Windows... I mean, with the old ATs cases, you had to close Windows from the STart Menu, and later wait for a message that allowed you to turn off the power, the ATXs, turn it off automaticaly.
