Yes, the ATX is the MB form-factor. All ATX mobos fit into a rectangle with specific dimensions. All ATX cases can hold at least a rectangle with specific dimensions.[1] > this would a 2U case since i know it can get cramped in the height. Yeah, you'll have to watch the height of any PCI cards you want to use, as well as processor fans. A normal ATX tower case is generally as wide as a 3-4U ATX rackmount case is tall.[2] [1] It's a bit more complex than that, but basically the "ATX" moniker on both indicates they will fit. [2] I usually estimate that a "U" is about 1.5 in. or 37.5 mm. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
