[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 130138, member: 13090"] Okay parts are "Out for Delivery" as I type this but now (!!) I have a concern... Looking at the specs on a lot of new motherboards I see two different dimensions for ATX boards: The familiar to me spec of 12" x [B]9.6[/B]" and the newer and not so familiar to me specification 12" x [B]8.6[/B]"... GAH!! A missing inch?? Whose bright idea was THIS?! Problem is (assuming there is one) my chosen motherboard, I now see, uses the smaller 8.6" dimension. I have a goooorgeous Antec P-180 case that I'm using now, and want to keep using, but I've never worked with a mobo that measures 8.6" and am wondering if that "missing inch" is going to wreak havoc when I go to mount the board? Someone please advise... Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
