Ssf Mb In Atx Case

[Dimitri]

Hey, all, ive got a Biostar 200N based system, but heres the problem... For the high end VGA cards i need at least a 250 watt PS, and ive got a 200 W... The other problem is that I need another hdd disk, but i can only fit one in this little case...

So naturally, I want a new case w/ a bigger PS... Heres My question...

CAN I FIT MY SSF BIOSTAR 2OON SUCCESSFULLY INTO THE DEAMON MIDTOWER ATX CASE?

thanks for any help,
Dimitri

A small form factor board in a mid tower? Um... no.

POSSIBLY with tons of modifications (drilling new holes, tons of ghetto rigging for the plate.... too much to name) but I wouldnt attempt it.

Dude, there IS an edit button. Use it.












<====== right there.

And I say. ATX towers have standoff holes for ATX boards not SFF. So you would have to make some kind of custom standoff setup, be it attempting to drill threaded holes or making custom ones.

Also, a SFF boards output board is NOT designed for ATX cases, actually Id be rather impressed with anyone who could cleanly convert ATX cases to fit SFF boards.

by the way, ghetto rigging merely refers to some sort of custom modifications (generally implies crappy work).
