ATX question

[bhath19]

When it says that the form factor for a case is: ATX Micro ATX does that mean it still would be able to fit a regular ATX Motherboard in it? I saw this at newegg for some cases I was thinking of getting for putting my new gigabyte ATX mobo in.

micro ATX cases usualy can only fit a micro or baby. But a ATX case can fit a micro(most of the time)(i think)

To answer you question no.

Yes I believe it will fit a regular atx Mobo and Micro Atx mobo

[thePh@r@oh]

looks like its micro to me the board you want wont fit

[Omardeth]

the case you posted will take a normal atx board

Form Factor:ATX Micro ATX

means it will take a atx or micro atx board .

that case is a micro mid atx case . it means it is smaller than a mid tower case . but it will still take a atx motherboard . so it will take a abit nf7 sized ( atx form factor ) motherboard for example .

Omar and Micro Bean are right...........atx and micro atx will fit in it. Pretty sure a call to newegg would confirm that......

Looks like a slight typo on the page...

I read "Form Factor:ATX Micro ATX" to mean "Form Factor: ATX, Micro ATX" or "Form Factor: ATX & Micro ATX", etc., meaning it'll support an ATX or micro ATX board. I think any case with 7 drive bays has got to be able to fit a regular ATX board in it

Mostly alot of Micro ATX cases have 2 5.25 Bays and 3 3.5 bays 2 external and one internal and the back slots normaly they have is 4...... AS for a ATX case it has 4 or more 5.25 bays and 3 or more 3.5 bays and always has a 7slot in the back
