Matching the Power Supply to the Case
Power supplies come with most cases
today (Figure 7).
The power supply has many power connectors to power the mainboard, hard
drives, CD-RW drives, and other components.
Figure 7: Inside of a new PC case Here, the power supply sits at the top left of the case. Notice the many power connectors dangling from the power supply.

Be sure that your case
and power supply match the type of mainboard you want to install. This
usually means purchasing an ATX style mainboard and case. Be sure
your case supports a full ATX mainboard. I’d avoid micro-ATX and
cases designed to hold only smaller boards.
