Can I put a micro atx motherboard into a desktop case?

You can make anything fit with a drill and a dremel tool. you may need to make a custom back plate for the ports and jacks as most desktop cases were for AT boards and they usually had cables that ran from the jacks to the motherboard. Hence, unless you have a rare ATX desktop case, you will need to change the power supply as well, as the conectors are different.Can I put a micro atx motherboard into a desktop case?
only if the case supports it.Can I put a micro atx motherboard into a desktop case?

Yes it will work fine. Desktop cases usually support a atx motherboard. A micro atx is just the same motherboard with less slots (shorter), nothing more, rest of it is the same.


Just make sure it is a atx deskop not an old at desktop (one hole on the back and slots).
well yes but it wont realy work
Yes, as long as the its a standard ATX computer case, it has the hole pre-made for micro ATX boards as well.
if you do this you are limiting your expansion options if you don't need to expand a local computer fair will charge 拢20 to 拢25 for a case.


hope this helps
not really,,, most desktop cases have risers and the back of the comp usually is not made for a backplate , like a tower is ,, but if you can rig it to fit ,, sure you can,, you just have to make sure your board has proper placement so your cpu and hs and fan can ventilate properly,,,
