BTX Computer Case

[J Thinkpad]

I have a fairly new system with the Intel D915GEV MB. Can anyone tell me if
I can put this setup in a BTX case? I am so tired of my very noisy computer!
When see the newer BTX machines in the store they make very little noise.
Thanks in advance.

The mechanical details are just plain upside down.

If you have $1K burning a hole in your pocket, you could try this
for your ATX motherboard:

No. You would need to have purchased a BTX comaptible motherboard. They
are mirror images of ATX boards, so not interchangeable.
