E-ATX Case for New Mobo

[ubuntu-guru]

So, I purchased my new mobo; and I kinda "oopsied" and didn't pay attention to a slight fact that it says "E-ATX" ( https://www.newegg.com/msi-meg-x570-godlike/p/N82E16813144257 )

Well, that presents the issue of a case, because currently I am using the: https://www.newegg.com/black-darkflash-tempered-glass-atx-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-008X-00002?Description=darkflash&cm_re=darkflash-_-2AM-008X-00002-_-Product&quicklink=true

 

On the FAQ. It mentions specifically that it does not support E-ATX. So it looks like a new case is going to be required, which is saddening (my mistake).

However, I have a very particular case style I like. Which is mostly clear tempered glass, not busy, etc.

 

So after poking around, I saw this one which is nice: https://www.newegg.com/black-segotep-phoenix/p/2AM-005R-00009

However, it doesn't mention E-ATX, so I think I'm S.O.L. with that one as well.

 

What are my options here... keeping the price point of $200ish reasonable. I like to spend money on my hardware, and not as much on the case. I just like them clean looking.

Would the Godlike even fit in that Segotep Case?, if not, what are my options.

 

Thanks.

GN just did a whole rant on EATX

 

But why don't you just return the board exactly? It has the same performance as $200 boards, unless you really need thunderbolt or built in 10 gigabit on some boards.

Unfortunately, Thunderbolt and 10Gb were a few of the selling points. And overall I just liked the look, the features, and the higher quality feel for it.

Usually I've stuck to mid-range stuff ($100-$200) for all my builds, and I wanted to sort of take a nice step up with this being feature rich, as well as a Ryzen 9.

 

Normally I'm pretty attentive to reading things over, but it slipped me for some reason. I guess I should have put 2x2 together when it mentioned 4 x pcie slots.

 

Great looking board, but this has suddenly become a headache because going E-ATX has just killed a lot of options for me.
