I'm planning to upgrade my mobo but I don't know if my case is a mid tower or a mini tower. It's classified as a mid-sized ATX on the product page (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02582670) but it only has 3 bays and is 38.40 cm (15.12 inches) tall. So it's actually a mini tower? :huh: I want to know if a full-sized ATX motherboard could fit in my case.

measure the size of the current mobo and look in the specs whether it is Atx, mATX or ITX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_form_factor)

Most pre-builts have non standard mobos meaning the case would have the wrong screw placements.
