I am planning to upgrade many things in my pc however i need a much better power supply. when I looked at new psu's i realised that they need an ATX case how do i tell if mine complies?

The old AT cases relied stirctly on expansion bays for ports and such, and when the case was standing up, looking at the back, all slots and ports were in a horizontal fashion.

An ATX case will have all the ports onboard the mobo(printer ports, serial ports, USB, and sound and video if applicable) along the left vertical side of the case looking at it from the back.

I don't know if you have a really old case or not but if your looking at buying power supply and case. http://www.newegg.com/app/manufactory.asp?...atalog=7&DEPA=1 or http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ThirdCategor...tegoryCode=0101

Newegg/zipzoomfly are reliable and fairly priced merchants. You may be able to buy a case locally but if your looking for a good name brand like antec then locally will cost more normally.
