Do I need a new case?

I have an old broken computer and I was thinking of buildinga new one, I was wondering if I need to worry about whether things will fit or not. I have never made one before, so I don't really know. Most things fit on the motherboard I suppose, but what about fans and the usb ports and other things? If I do decide to get a new case, what do I look for to choose? Are there some dimensions I need to check to make sure it fits?

    Just make sure the motherboard has the right form factor for your case (or vice-versa). Other than that the only other thing would be expansion slots, but those won't affect your performance much. You might also want to know how many optical and hard drive slots there are.
