Without knowing your computer component and case (or chassis case) we cannot answer. Chassis cases come in all shapes and sizes, but will conform to a form factor. For instance, an ATX chassis case will accept an ATX motherboard and an ATX power supply, along with a number of 3.5" hard-drives and removable media drives (CD/DVD/Blu-Ray). Generally, the larger the chassis case the more form factors it will support. Therefore a microATX form factor chassis case will only support a micro ATX form factor motherboard at most, and fewer hard-drives. Other form factors include FlexATX and mini-ATX. In general, you want a chassis case that is larger or equal to the combined motherboard/power supply form factor, and that will support all the internal drives you intend to install. Before purchasing a chassis case, it pays to look inside and check the layout as some are better designed than others. A common problem to look out for is a hard-drive mounting position that causes the rear-end of the hard-drive to interfere with RAM chips or peripheral cards, or that limits access to the drive interfaces on the motherboard.
