stuck on mobo

[RiotMcs]

hi, im building a new machine soon and im stuck on the mobo. im using a zalman z11 case and i want to use the new g1 sniper which is an e atx mobo but the case is atx but some people say e atx is just wider with same mounting holes but im not sure or will i be able to use cable management

The Mobo is too long for the case. Look for a cheap alternative, its worth the bucks. And look for things like great space and cable management

Yeah the g1 sniper is too big. Why would you get a $400 motherboard then a $50 case anyways?

Take a look at the smaller one. It's m-atx, but still has the majority of the same features. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128604

Well if you wan the slots and the color scheme you should get a different case. To support e-atx most cases have to be full tower which have to be $100+. This list is cases that support E-atx from companies that I would recommend. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#f=3&p=0&m=52,149,169,333,50,11,57,106,94,334,63,60

i looked on gigabytes site and it says that the sniper is only 2 cm wider i could probably mount it if i slightly covered the cabl management hols
