im buying a new motherboard and would like to know if a so-called microatx motherboard will fit into my atx computer case!!!
thanx guys!!!

Your so called Micro ATX will fit inside the “box” and it will fit inside almost any ATX case. You should really get a Micro ATX case though.

if it fits into the atx case why does it matter whether i get a micro atx case or not?

You will have some trouble with the PCI’s in certain “boxes”.

so will it be trouble i cant work around?

You’ll be able to work around it. Just be carefull. Sometimes it can get frustrating. Not imposible. Again, this MIGHT happen. Not all cases will have trouble though.

Woah….that was hillarious. Answer me this, is a micro atx board meant for a Desktop or a Laptop? .....C’mon you can do it. Desktop!
From the questions you are asking I really dont think its such a good idea for you to build a computer. You are more of a dell person.

Not necessarily… cooling in a microatx is more demanding than an atx

There’s always good heatsinks and fans for that, now please stop trying to make me look like an idiot 😛

easy fellas, no pissing matches.

your answers, sir:

Microatx will fit inside an ATX case, especially if the case is “microatx compatible”

the kind of RAM you use depends on your motherboard. I guess its not entirely impossible to use laptop memory with a board, if thats what the board calls for. I don’t see why, but thats just me.

Video card specs should be availbe on your board manufacturers website. AGP, PCI-X, PCI, Onboard. Whatever. Follow aht they say.

There, lock this one up.
