I know the PC might not really be considered a "Console," but i'm pretty much out of options by now.
I bought a BTX form factor motherboard to upgrade my PC, and now i can't find a BTX case anywhere. I'm still a kid so i dont't have about 200 dollars to throw around.
$30-40 would be nice. $50 really pusing it.
Thanks to all who help.

Is there a reason you bought BTX? Development of that form factor was stopped about three years ago, so finding compatible cases is going to be very hard. Shoulda bought ATX/mATX like everyone else.

this motherboard had all mt needed features.
It had floppy, ide, sata (1.5 and 3.0gbs), 8gb of ram(ddr2, 667mhz), Socket 775, supports pentium 4, and eight usb 2.0 ports.
this is very nice (in my opinion) for a board discontinued three or more years ago.

But i'm sure you could've got an ATX or mATX case with the same specs for less. Why do you want floppy and IDE anyway?

I bought an mATX board recently that is pretty much exactly the same spec as that and it was £32.

this motherboard was only twenty bucks.
i also had no clue about the "ATX" and "BTX" thing until it was out of the box and wouldn't fit my case.

if you have a drill + patience + removable motherboard tray you should be able to make it fit

Also a Hammer to mash your motherboard when you're in panic

ok...
i could mod the case, but everything would be switched around and bent at odd angles.
But what about building a case?
