Micro-ATX Motherboard in an ATX Case

[SilentScope]

I want to transfer an Intel Micro-ATX form factor motherboard into a full ATX form factor case. Is this even possible? I'm not sure it will mount correctly.

most full ATX cases will mount a mATX motherboard

you have to move around the standoffs to get them to line up with your mobo, but it should work.

Standoffs?

Standoffs = The movable raised screwholes(unscrew them).

Ok, thanks for the advice.

be sure that they line up with the holes, and dont leave any extras on the mobo mounting plate. could cause a short.

Nothing worst then shorting your MB.

Any extra...whats? Screws? Holes?

Don't leave any extra (unused) standoffs on the motherboard tray.

since you seem to be confused, this is a stand off

no problem, just make sure that you only use as many standoffs as there is holes in your motherboard and no extras just sitting underneat it. This causes a short and thats trouble, so just make sure you doublecheck for extras since you would proboly had had extra ones for a full sized atx board if thats what was in the case last.
