    just curious...why?
    doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting a microatx mobo?

    Well an example would be if you want a cheap motherboard with integrated video, then most of them would be MicroATX.

    Carefull! Not ALL cases support the micro atx form. Some are ATX only.
    Best bet is call the mfg's support number and verify it.
