Can an Motherboard with a Form Factor ATX fit in a MicroATX case?

So I plan on buying an ECS BLACK SERIES GF8200A Motherboard:

Form Factor: ATX


Dimensions: 12.0'; x 8.7';








and I was wondering if it would fit in a Antec Mini P180 Case:

Type: MicroATX Mini Tower


Motherboard Compatibility: MicroATXCan an Motherboard with a Form Factor ATX fit in a MicroATX case?
no .. an ATX board is about 3 x 3 inches bigger than a microATX board(ATX - 12.x X 12.x vs microATX - 9.x X 9.x)Can an Motherboard with a Form Factor ATX fit in a MicroATX case?
No it has to be a mico board if you are fitting it in that case.


My recommendation to you is to get the same case but with an Intel core 2 Motherboard.

and pair it with this and 2Gb DDR2 pc6400.





http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc鈥?/a> , I have used this combo in a number of builds and they are fantastic little boards and have a HDMI , DVI and VGA sockets so you can connect directly with a HD TV, and added bonus of Gigabyte's easy restore system which works a treat.





It's a relatively powerful and cheap combo and would be hard to beat for price/performance.


so you can have your cake and eat it. LOL
No ATX is the form factor like the dimensions basically so a full size ATX mobo wont fit into micro atx
No.
