I have a Dell Optiplex 960 Mini Tower. It is the original tower it came with I believe it’s an atx. I’m running Intel core 2 duo @ 3.16 ghz 8 gb of ddr2 the chip is an Intel Q45 express LGA 775. I have a 3000 gb data 3.5 in drive, 120 gb 2.5 inch ssd and DVD writer. I can game a little with this setup. I’m wondering though what are my options for buying a case that will support the motherboard (H634K Y958C). I bought a e-atx case off Amazon and the mounts did not line up when mounting the board even though it said it was compatible. Do you have any advise on cases that may work for this build. I just want a cooler looking case and don’t want to buy a new setup. Thank you.

You aren't really going to be able to put that board in another case. It's not ATX, it's BTX. It isn't worth dealing with a new case for that computer.
