Like the title says Im just looking right now at possibly upgrading to a 12" x 10" MB and I know my current case cant handle it as my 10 x 10 takes up the interior. But I dont know what catagory the 12 x 10 falls into. Is it ATX or E-ATX? I only have a 10" vid card and no plans to get a longer card just maybe a second or a third. :D

Your mobo is E-ATX.

These are just a few examples. If you want a case to acomodate that E-ATX mobo look at the full towers cases.

This GIGABYTE GA-X79-UD5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128531 they say is E-ATX and the dimensions are 12" x 10.39" and an ATx is 12.0" x 9.6".
All E-ATX boards are 12" x 10.39" . Take a look at the dimensions what the manufacturers give for E-ATX types motherboards.

AH I rounded up it is a 12 x 9.6 I didn't think the .4 inches made much of a difference.
MSI MB

So most mid size cases will take it?

I was looking at The HAF 922 and The Storm Enforcer But I didnt want to get the case then have the new board not fit.
