Title: Will This Mobo fit into this case?
Post by: greaser on October 17, 2006, 04:12:40 pm: Just ordered a case:

And plan on using this motherboard:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131572

Says the case will fit up to 11" X 12"

Well the mobo is 12" x 7"

Will it fit?

Post by: DrewKaree on October 17, 2006, 04:22:14 pm: Does it work? How much was free shipping? I'm pretty sure it'll fit in your basement, but make sure you ask for a noise code. Also, does it work?

I don't get the question. You have the measurements right there.

Post by: jjd on October 17, 2006, 04:24:34 pm: Nope, it will only fit upside down.

Post by: shardian on October 17, 2006, 04:26:07 pm: You know, I hear best buy has some purdy nice compooders that come already made up.

To answer your question - those dimensions are interchangeable.. 12x7 = 7x12

Post by: ChadTower on October 17, 2006, 04:27:41 pm: It may fit but that doesn't mean it has screw holes and such that line up perfectly.

Why did you ask after ordering it?

I'd like to be the first to suggest Gorilla Glue & C-clamps.

Post by: ChadTower on October 17, 2006, 04:30:49 pm: Won't work. The drill is 9" x 4". You can't possibly fit that in with the mobo.

Title: Re: Will This Mobo fit into this case?
Post by: greaser on October 17, 2006, 04:36:08 pm: I realized my mistake only after I ordered the case. I didn't realize the case was micro atx in relation to the atx mobo. I'm new at this. Cut me some slack guys.
Title: Re: Will This Mobo fit into this case?
Post by: boykster on October 17, 2006, 04:38:38 pm: Dont worry, it will fit just fine. 12" wide is the important dimension. And since the mobo is atx as is the case, you're 99% likely to have no issues with mounting posts, standoffs etc being in the correct place. That is an ATX midtower case, not mATX

Post by: ChadTower on October 17, 2006, 04:42:26 pm: Don't use Towers. They're too loud and sometimes completely inappropriate.

Careful there Boykster. You're going to lose that title.

Post by: boykster on October 17, 2006, 04:50:23 pm: Good point....I was a bit too helpful there:

To ensure that the mobo fits, follow these important steps -

1) collect underpants
Title: Re: Will This Mobo fit into this case?
Post by: ChadTower on October 17, 2006, 04:50:51 pm: 2) place underpants in mouth
Title: Re: Will This Mobo fit into this case?
Post by: boykster on October 17, 2006, 04:53:11 pm: 5) PROFIT!!!

I forgot the other steps.... :dunno

They also have problems going into hibernate, as well as being extremely difficult to deal with at times ;D

What is the square root of eleventy, how does it relate to galactic politics, and why should we care.

I think.....

You guys are nuts. Everybody knows Duct Tape is the only proper way to mount anything.
