MATX in ATX case?

Joe2003 · 02-22-2008, 03:40 PM

Hey

I currently have my pc in one of these cases:-

Its a qpack. Anyway I want to turn the pc into a file server, and I need a bigger case. The mobo is a micro atx. Does this mean I can only put it in matx cases? I was looking at this case:-

but it says atx for the factor form, does this mean there is no chance of getting my matx board in there?

Also can I use the psu from my matx case in this bigger case?

thanks

Joe

Yes for both of your questions. The motherboard and be the PSU should be compatible with ATX cases.
