    Default Compatibility

    Sorry to bother you guys about this, as it probobly seems very obvious to you guys

    Recently my CPU just packed in, so i've decided to get a whole new motherboard and CPU, and a PSU to power it all. I've managed to find all this stuff, within my price range, but now i'm begining to worry about if it will fit into my case. The case is nothing special, and i've managed to find some information from another one on ebay

    Here is the information

    Case Type : ATX Midi Tower

    Drive Bay-5.25" : 4 Open

    Drive Bay-3.5": 1 Open

    Motherboards : All types of mainboard up to 244mm

    PSU : 400W

    Cooling Fans : X Space for 2 fans

    External Ports : USB, Audio ports (Headphones and Mic)

    Expansion slots : 7 Full Size

    Other Features : Blue neon light on front panel

    Now, that says all motherboards upto 244mm will fit in the case, but the motherboard i am looking at is ATX Form Factor, 12"x 9.6"(30.5cm x 24.5cm)

    Now, one way that fits in with the 244 (Near enough) but the other way, it is way off. The case says it is ATX, and so does the motherboard. But by the looks of this, i dont think its going to fit

    So, will i need to buy a new case to fit all this in? Thankyou for your time guys, and sorry for the long post

    It doesn't say Micro ATX, but i'm not sure if the information is entirely correct.

    I know my motherboard at the moment is a Micro ATX, and the dimentions on the specs dont look all that large

    What i posted above is the only information i have on the case, i can post you the links of the motherboard i am getting though

    http://www.directron.com/a8nslid.html

    The information on the case is above, but from what i read on there, the motherboard may be too big

    It says it supports upto 244, but the dimesions of the motherboard are 255 via 305. So, just need some reasurance that this wont fit, before i go out and buy a case for no reason
