A case for the ka7-100

[agent67863]

What case should I use for the KA7-100. It has 8 slots on it and i cant find a case that has 8 expansion slots.

Fong Kai 603. One place to get it is http://www.directron.com It is one of the best cases of its class that AnandTech has reviewed. I own it, and the KA7 (not 100, but they are almost the same board, save the ATA 100 support on yorus). Fits beautifully Another thing to note is that the ISA slot and last PCI slot on the KA7 are shared - you won't find a case that will let you use each and every one. Then again, i hope you don't have 6 PCI devices and an ISA device that needs to connect outside the case....

Put another way the last opening in the case's backplate is for either the ISA card or the adjacent PCI card. It's one or the other. That's what they mean when they say 'shared.'

You might want to get a big case, since the KA7 is bigger than most mobos, as you know better than I.

If you want to go to a full tower case, the Antec SX830/1030 are among the most popular cases in the Cases and Cooling forum. Same case but 1030 has more installed drive bays, both come with 300W power supply.

Do a search for Antec in the Cases and Cooling forum and you'll come up with a long list of posts.

On the first page that loads, click on the image of the Performance series cases (these are the SX830 and 1030 in the picture) and it will load the page you want.

Don't forget the SuperMicro SC-750. For a full tower case, you would be hard pressed to find better. I have my KA7-100 in there with PLENTY of space to spare. http://www.supermicro.com
