there's a post somewhere else that said that ATX2 just has like 4 more wires or something so I think it would be fine, but I don't know from experience

problem

Unless stated, they are all the same size. Some cases use smaller ones to keep the case size down, but those are quite obviously different(small desktop cases, older HPs, emachines, etc...
