Buyer be aware- make sure you measure you case size before buying. The SATA port face end of M/B not face up- That means you need room for SATA cable to plug in and make turns. I used to install one for my customer with Cooler master Mystique case ( not a small Midtower case). And I have to plug in all 6 SATA cables before install the M/B. Otherwise the HDD cage will limit the SATA connector area into a small area and very hard to work on after M/B installed.
My experience for your reference.

Well I got this motherboard and love it! I already had a case for atx boards. I went from a full tower to a half tower (common size) just make sure there is room for the atx motherboard.
