 | Re: Quick case question not in that size case, there's a reason why it's that small Something smaller than a normal ATX case would be an Mini ATX case, but they are nothing close to the size of those micro cases

| Re: Quick case question there is no such thing as a mini-atx form factor :-s............... The form factors (each step downwards in size mean a reduction in functionality and upgradability): E-ATX = for servers and dual socket boards (ignore for home builds) ATX = This is your average consumer board and what you will see in most desktops Micro-atx = This is for the smaller desktops like the case you listed above it is still highly functional but has a limited upgradability. Mini-itx = small size for highly portable systems same form factor as used in most laptops nano-itx = small occasionally used in laptops but its main use in the home is as a htpc pico-itx = about the size of the original gameboy extreme portability and only umpc's use this form factor atm I don't see how you are getting confused it is very simple a case needs to be larger then the motherboard so that it can house it you liked the case above, so buy a micro-atx board as that is what fits in the case!!!! micro-atx is perfectly functional and can do everything a atx can except it may have lost one or two pci slots here are some micro-atx cases pick one: Kustom PC's or here are some standard cases again pick one Kustom PC's Kustom PC's

| Re: Quick case question Well they generally aren't available you can make your own case or simply choose a micro-atx board instead
