Desktop Case, full ATX mobo...

[Alex53]

Ok, long story short, baby coming, spare room painted pink and PC has to move out to living room. Bought small desk and current tower case is too big.

Solution. Take all the insides out and put them in a desktop case under the LCD monitor I will also buy.

But. All the desktop cases I can find only take micro ATX motherboards. Older desktop cases all took full size mobos as far as I can remember, but I want something newer and hopefully slightly better looking than a big beish box

Thanks for your replies. Yeah it seems most desktops nowadays are aimed at home theatre/multimedia type systems and have extra bits like LCD screens making them more expensive. They are the only ones I seemed to find. That and gigantic desktop cases which are just towers on their side, nothing a little slimmer.

I got some unbranded case to try from a local store. I know the guy so he told me try it and pay if you want to keep it. £18 but its looked decent. On the box it said AT/ATX/micro-ATX, but when I got home and opened it theres no way an ATX mobo fits in that. The markings in the case listed micro-ATX and FlexATX, which makes more sense. So there went that possibility...

Anyway, eventually after rearranging the printer and the shelves under the desk and I have managed to fit my original case in there. Maybe not as neatly as I wanted it, and theres cables a little too visible, but it will do
