Micro or full ATX?

iPepsi57 · Oct 19, 2013

Will this case fit a full ATX? it's an Audio Labs case from Antec it doesn't state whether or not it'll fit full ATX. But if so can you guys list a good motherboard for an AMD FX 6300 under $90? Also state whether or not it'll fit.

Yes it will fit ATX Asus board http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97ler20

So Asus is the best I can get? Correct? I don't want to blow money on an Asrock or MSI if it won't fit. Lol.

They will fit any ATX board will fit. Asus is my favorite brand but there are good boards from the others.

Do you think I should move some cables around? Like the orange ties or no? I currently have a mATX.

rolli59 · Oct 19, 2013

The lowest ones are going to go lower in the case so yes you will have to cut some of the ties. Make sure as well that you will have enough motherboard standoffs, your current board is fitted with 4 screws the Asus I linked to needs 6.

Do I have six?

rolli59 · Oct 19, 2013

There are currently only 4 in your case, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007581&IsNodeId=1&Description=motherboard%20standoff&name=Case%20Accessories&Order=BESTMATCH

It seems I have 6 or more, how do you conclude? And I might just get a Micro ATX I don't have a lot of money, are their any other options?

rolli59 · Oct 19, 2013

If you have six you are good to go. I only saw 4 screws in your motherboard in the picture each screw goes into a standoff. There are no really good mATX boards only with the lesser chipsets for AM3+

What about the back panel? I counted around four screws, I currently just have an mATX. I honeslty don't want to buy a new case, but it might come to that.

EDIT: The back panel looks like six.

rolli59 · Oct 19, 2013

Looked again on your back panel picture you do have 6. That case will work fine.

rolli59 :

I actually can't use the case because it doesn't have standoffs, so the motherboard won't support the case.

rolli59 · Oct 19, 2013

All cases have standoffs! Other wise the motherboard will short to the motherboard tray!

This is an old thread, I know it has stand offs haha. I just mean their aren't enough stand offs with the case and since it was prebuilt from audio labs I cannot get any more without spending $20 on more stand offs. It'd be easier to just get a new case since I can only support a 10" Graphics card. In the long run, I'm due to get a new case.

In that case maybe it is time for a new nice case.
