mobo size for pc?

lovepurple · May 19, 2013

I have an Acer m420 veriton PC. I am upgrading it almost entirely. I am planning to get this http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-970A-D3-AM3-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B0056G10WK/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1368966179&sr=1-6&keywords=amd+motherboard+ddr3

I a really scared that it doesn't fit though.

that motherboard for your PC already looks like a micro-atx motherboard

So, the motherboard that you chose now would not fit in your pc case.

ok, so do you know what dimensions that I need? .... (Wait nevermind, I got it. Doyou know were I can get one for my size?)

To be honest. A new chassis costs so little, you may as well get a new one. Considering that many of these prebuilds have so bad ventilation that half the time putting a decent graphics card in causes massive overheating.

Start fresh. PLEASE DONT RE-USE THE PSU as prebuild PSUs are an accident waiting to happen.

any of these motherboards.

It just has to be micro-ATX size (since it's all standard)

Careful, HP(for example) has many proprietary designs on their mobos/chassis.

Ya. a cheap decent mid tower costs like $40-50.... definitely worth the investment...
