Hey guys.

I've got this mobo as a base, I don't want it for performance tbh:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/intel-atom-motherboard-1-6ghz-D945GCLF_W0QQitemZ130245170714QQcmdZViewItem?hash= item130245170714&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318

And I'm looking at this case:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134798

It will have:
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?SG-79S326 - HDD

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CSR-VS672 - RAM

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?ASU-2014S1 - CD1 [IDE]

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?ASU-2014ST - CD2 [SATA]

& This PSU:
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CSR-VX450

Will it all work ok?

Including the in case fans etc.

&& My main concern, will the mobo fit to the case?

Thanks for the help!!

Please, inform me if I need anything else.

If the Motherboard is a Micro-ATX case and the Case is ATX it will not fit. You need a ATX Motherboard. On the eBay link you gave it says that the form factor is Mini-ITX and the Case only fits ATX.

Hope this helps

EDIT I would not buy from that site that you chose. Either scan.co.uk or ocuk

sorry, can't edit,

Can you please recommend me a case, which I could possibly modify for a Mini-ITX MOBO. Possibly with fans and leds? (A)

That would fit my PSU listed.

Thanks!

Micro ATX mobo's can fit in full ATX cases, fools.

Never, ever buy important components from ebay.

:(!

it's all so confusing.
and OK, if anyone can find me that mobo from a trusted site, +REP

Ah, didn't read it properly sorry.

Yeah, you'll need to either get a mini-atx or full atx motherboard.

(Could you delete my double post above)?

Shut up :)

You beat me to it lol, it also depends on the case itself as not all full ATX cases have micro-ATX screw points but I would say at least 80% do.

The motherboard is a mini-itx though not a micro-atx

The difference is a single screw in the motherboard which is some cases it really doesn't matter. However if you case supports BTX it also supports ATX/ITX
