136383 2003-04-17 01:35:00 Im buying a new motherboard thats says its size is 'ATX (305mm x 230mm)' my old motherboard says its an 'ATX , 4 layer PCB (31.0*19.2cm)'
Am i going to have to get a new case or does the few mm's matter?

136384 2003-04-17 01:53:00 Have a look in the case. Most cases will take it. But some cases are only for the smaller motherboards. -=JM=- (16)
136385 2003-04-17 01:57:00 The size of the physical motherboard shouldn't matter too much. It's where the holes are, to mount in the case. That few mm shouldn't make a great deal of difference, providing that your case is big enough to take the extra bit.

I'm reasonably sure that all ATX motherboards have the holes the same spacing apart, so it shouldn't really matter.

if the case is an off the shelf then you should be fine.
