Haswell compatibility

Go to solution Solved by Hyydrah,

Will the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 be compatible with Haswell parts? I am planning to use this case for my Haswell build. Will the motherboard sizes be the same? What sizes of motherboards does this case accept? Thanks!

Motherboard form factors will be the same as previous generations of hardware, don't worry. Just remember that it can't support E-ATX (but most people haven't even seen one of those boards anyway).

Thanks for the responses! :)

On a side note, do you think that this case is a good case for a new build in terms of its size?
