Hi all,
This is a question about whether or not a particular mobo will fit in a particular case. I recently upgraded my mobo from a gigabyte B150M-DSH3 to a Gigabyte Z270MX Gaming 5 in order to support my new i5 7600k. My current pc case is this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01BLI516W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501705877&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=purple+pc+case
A pretty cheap/bad case, I know, please don't have a go at me xD. When installing my new motherboard, it was a very tight squeeze, with only millimetres to spare on the top, bottom and left hand side.
I am planning on upgrading my case to a Corsair Carbide Air 240 - a case that is praised for supporting micro-ATX size mobos in such a small space. My question, before purchasing, is will my motherboard actually fit in this new case? (Please no "It's micro ATX, of course it will fit", because I certainly had a struggle fitting this new mobo in my current case). I am just worrying that after such difficulty in fitting the new mobo in my current case, upgrading to an even smaller case may present issues.
Thank you for your time.
