The GF-N8B conforms to the ATX form factor and so can accommodate motherboards with form factors Array.
It is made of Aluminium and its dimensions (LxWxH) are 456mm x 187mm x 437mm.

The GF-N8B has a the ATX form factor. ATX is the most ubiquitous of case standards, providing the largest array of compatible hardware on the market. Using the ATX standard, the case can house motherboards and power supplies with form factors Array. The dimensions of the case itself (LxWxH) are 456mm x 187mm x 437mm.
The GF-N8B has four expansion slots, so there is some room for extra components, which may be a deciding factor when planning on the longevity and build type of a PC system. The case has four 5.25" drive bays, which is enough to house an optical drive and a couple of hard drives, while still having a couple of extra free hard drives with the four 3.5" drive bays that are also available. To mount an SSD you would require an adapter, however, as there are no 2.5" drive bays.
Made primarily of Aluminium, the GF-N8B is built to be strong, lightweight, and well-ventilated. This often comes at a price premium, but some see the benefits to be completely worth it. Whatever your case's material, it is important to keep a consistent airflow so that heat doesn't build up inside. It is therefore advised that you make use of the available built-in case fans and fan installation sections.
