Eclipse P300 and mATX?

[BoopLoopy]

Simple question. Will it look stupid or silly to put an mATX motherboard such as MSI B450M Mortar inside this case?

 

Another side question, what is the cooling capability of the P300 like? If anyone has experience with it.

 

Another'nother question. Does the LED strip run by itself or does it require a 5050 12V LED strip connector?

I would go with an ATX board, you will have more space to expand, more pcie slots, more sata ports, mor m2. slots

also it will look better and should not be more expensive.

An M-ATX motherboard can look a tad small on the P300 but not entirely awful, recently i've built a system on a Masterbox Lite 5 with an M-ATX motherboard (beats me why my client chose the M-ATX board, but oh well), doing the cable management cleanly helps to solve the strangeness of the small motherboard.

That's actually funny because I was planning on mATX BECAUSE of it being cheaper than ATX. (All information I'm saying is from PCCG Australia)

 

The MSI B450M Mortar is $149 (AUD), where the cheapest ATX B450 board is $145, the MSI B450-A Pro and the next one up is $159, the Asus Prime B450 Plus.
