Micro-ATX M/b Casing

**trustylez** · 05-01-2006, 11:18 PM

does anyone know what the smallest case possible is for a micro-atx motherboard? do the slim pc cases fit a micro-atx?? i'm not really worried about how the case looks as long as its small so i can hide it somewhere in my car.

it would be easiest to build one. Couple of cuts to plywood and you are there.

There are smaller cases fro microATX motherboards. The ones for miniITX board (like the ones in the mp3car.com store) will not work with a microATX motherboard.

Google for PC cases and make notes of ones that will fit microATX and also note the dimensions.

Most likely you want to look at home theater PC cases.

hmm, thanks i might just build one then, maybe with some plexiglass or something

Here is one if you are still looking it is cheap and small. I think I am going to get it cut off the front and rivet it back together since I don't have any fancy smancy tools to make a decent metal case and I want one. (I found this thread searching for a smaller case...)
