Could you please make it easier to view MicroATX boards on the main site or am I missing something?

Its a pain clicking every board to see if its a Micro ATX board.

Thanks in advance :D

Oh and another thing, I see that some have things like (Mini-ITX) in the name, why is this inconsistent, is there a system to it or is it just whoever adds it? :S

It would be handy to have a Micro ATX section, they do / did have a Mini ITX section.

Yeah I see that, it would be even better to have a subsection like:

Form Factor:
----------------------------------
M-ITX
M-ATX
ATX
E-ATX
XL-ATX

Something like that. IMHO the site needs a redesign, front end and backend, whilst its expensive, it would be great I mean at the moment it breaks in some parts if you try to refine a search with more than 2 things.
 
I actually have to use competitors sites to find the model I want before coming back here (and checking if OCUK are cheaper).

I have no clue at what you just typed :D

I know it can be done, pretty simply actually its getting to the right people, and the right people don't really look at these forums unless they don't have a dedicated team to doing the php/html/css etc.

HAHA! Looking back on my life I now know this is one of those moments punctuation could have been handy :p

I always assumed you could search by matx as a requirement, but thinking back I am just remembering most matx chipsets were different to atx ones so it sort of did it on its own...
 
It would probably have to be structured with the motherboard size under the motherboard chipset e.g:

Motherboards - Intel
>>
Intel 1150 (Z87 Chipset)
>>
M-ITX
M-ATX
ATX
E-ATX

And so on for each socket/chipset sup-section as an optional catagory which you can select to refine results further, otherwise you would be looking at motherboards of a specific size for any socket/chipset.

I prefer OcUK's layout to almost all other competitors, it is simple and no gimmicks.

But to people who don't know the site like the back of their hands (i.e not us) the fact that search still isnt 100% is a bad thing :p
