Hi, I am thinking about purchasing a mATX motherboard, but the case I'd like is an ATX case. I've heard that they will fit together, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

Ohhh. I thought they were a lot smaller, but I'm glad! Most mATX cases are tiny and I wouldn't want to work in them.

Nah, a Micro ATX board is just an ATX board with the bottom 3 slots (and the PCB that holds them) hacked off. You put the little board in the big case, it fits, and now you have a couple inches of empty space at the bottom.

Hewlett Packard did that for YEARS.
