DeJa-vu is wrong. You can use that case and that motherboard together. They are both ATX, there will just be alot of room inside the case.Can a microatx board fit in properly in a atx case?

Yes.








But, with that case, no.


The case only supports ATX form factors,


considering it's a cheaper case I wouldn't think it would support more than 2 form factors.





You can try, but you won't succeed....


I'd get this case instead?: (link)





Or something that supports Micro-ATX.
it all good,nice case
Yes, a micro-ATX board will fit in an ATX case. The one thing you have to worry about is the backplane. If the case has a removable backplane then you are in business; simply take the backplane from your current case and fit it into the backplane of the new case. The backplane is the part of the back of the case where all the holes for the connectors (keyboard, mouse, USB, sound, etc) are. Many motherboards have custom backplanes.
