Compatibility
Sorry to bother you guys about this, as it probobly seems very obvious to you guys
Recently my CPU just packed in, so i've decided to get a whole new motherboard and CPU, and a PSU to power it all. I've managed to find all this stuff, within my price range, but now i'm begining to worry about if it will fit into my case. The case is nothing special, and i've managed to find some information from another one on ebay
Here is the information
Case Type : ATX Midi Tower
Drive Bay-5.25" : 4 Open
Drive Bay-3.5": 1 Open
Motherboards : All types of mainboard up to 244mm
PSU : 400W
Cooling Fans : X Space for 2 fans
External Ports : USB, Audio ports (Headphones and Mic)
Expansion slots : 7 Full Size
Other Features : Blue neon light on front panel
Now, that says all motherboards upto 244mm will fit in the case, but the motherboard i am looking at is ATX Form Factor, 12"x 9.6"(30.5cm x 24.5cm)
Now, one way that fits in with the 244 (Near enough) but the other way, it is way off. The case says it is ATX, and so does the motherboard. But by the looks of this, i dont think its going to fit
So, will i need to buy a new case to fit all this in? Thankyou for your time guys, and sorry for the long post

Re: Compatibility
if they both say atx, then they will fit, but make sure one doesnt say micro atx

Re: Compatibility
It doesn't say Micro ATX, but i'm not sure if the information is entirely correct.
I know my motherboard at the moment is a Micro ATX, and the dimentions on the specs dont look all that large

Re: Compatibility
What i posted above is the only information i have on the case, i can post you the links of the motherboard i am getting though

The information on the case is above, but from what i read on there, the motherboard may be too big
It says it supports upto 244, but the dimesions of the motherboard are 255 via 305. So, just need some reasurance that this wont fit, before i go out and buy a case for no reason
