Couple of pics of a secondary system, squeezed an E-ATX board into an ATX case

So apparently the Lancool PC-K62 can just about fit an E-ATX motherboard leaving enough room to route cables round the side with barely a millimetre to spare. :eek:

Spec for anyone wondering:

i7 930 @ stock w' Kuhler 620
Asus ROG Rampage II Extreme
8GB Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600MHz
ATI Radeon HD4870X2 2GB @ 800/1000 (Should be a GTX570 DCUII but its in my main system at the mo because my 660 went up the spout)
Soundblaster Audigy 5.1
OCZ ZS550
500GB Barracuda 7200.9
Lancool PC-K62

Leaves me wondering how many other cases which dont state E-ATX support can actually (barely) accommodate an E-ATX platform.

* One inch greater than standard ATX form factor

E-ATX is 305×330 according to Wiki.

The E-ATX is kinda weird, it's pretty much given to any board that isn't ATX standard.

I thought it was this, E-ATX boards seem to be all different sizes.

"Although true E-ATX is 305x330 mm most motherboard manufacturers' E-ATX motherboards have measurements of 305x257 mm, 305x264 mm, 305x267 mm and 305x272 mm."

That quote is from an unreliable source and is pretty vague and rather incorrect as there are many other measurements besides those three, but when looking up dimensions of E-ATX motherboards on thier corresponding product pages, they seem to all be between 260MM and 280MM wide.
