Buy a case that supports your MoBos form factor (They one you're thinking about is standard ATX. I think my latest was a micro-ATX, although I have quite a large case(*) considering what's inside for the same reasons ICQ pointed out about not making it cramped.

I would say if possible, check for things on the case like audio wiring etc because I've come across people using different standards and it makes plugging it into the MoBo a bitch. I can't use the side headphone panel, or the one from my card reader, just because they're labelled pretty ambiguously.
