PSA: PCPartPicker is dropping support for E-ATX cases if they list a "up to X" length

This is technically bad since many of the cases that lazily slap "E-ATX support" on them cannot necessarily support any E-ATX length since the motherboards vary, so while the Define R6 can most likely hold a longer motherboard than the Lancool One (since the lancool's length isnt listed), if you select a 277mm long motherboard like the Asus Rampage VI, the Define R6 will not be listed as supported but the Lancool One will be.

    I actually like the redesign of the site recently. But not good that this messes up which cases really are compatible with EATX. Mind you, it's not that common so... idk.

    The redesign was never a factor in the E-ATX compatibility issues. That's been a thing since motherboard manufacturers started calling their boards "E-ATX" without noting that it's shorter than the official E-ATX length of 330mm. To be fair, they cant call it ATX since the official spec is hard capped at 244mm, and making up a new motherboard size would probably just confuse people....
