Hi, i am seeing a desktop cases and i need one that supports micro atx. Tha one i am seeing say that supports atx motherboards. This mean that support micro atx also? (Since micro atx is smaller). Thanks

Most ATX Mid towers do support MATX motherboards, which case are you looking at?

Most ATX cases support micro ATX motherboards, but it's hard to say for sure since you didn't include what case you're looking at. You need to include specific information if you want meaningful help.

Normally, the cases which supports ATX mobos have support for microATX mobos. To be sure, pl provide the model number so that it may be checked out.

Just tought that all atx support small boards since they are small, but i am seeing that a atx case could not support a micro atx board, right?

And micro ATX is the same as uATX? Thanks

 

[Darth Rache]

No not the same, and most ATX mid towers do support MATX boards, but it will come down toy the individual case for us to give you any type of an educated answer.

It looks like neither of those two cases support MATX motherboards, where are you and what is your budget for a case? I will try to find you one in your budget.

Buy a different power supply or if you have molex plugs left over you can get a molex to SATA adaptor.

Thanks Darth Rache, but the first one say "Case Micro-Atx 500w".

Yes, it does say that, but in the item specifications it says nowhere that it is MATX compatible.
