Micro ATX vs ATX.

[Air tree]

Well i was wondering what you guys prefer when it comes to builds, and cases, do you prefer a micro atx case that still has all the features as in watercooling such as the 350D, or would you rather get something that you could throw in a regular atx board in down the line or even a Extended atx down the line? what do you prefer overall?

I prefer ATX actually, but Micro ATX is usually cheaper so I vote for Micro ATX. Still have a dream for doing tri crossfire though :D.

The benefits aren't that great anymore. My old LianLi ATX case is smaller on the outside than many mATX cases you can buy these days. I prefer compact ATX cases over roomy mATX.

The reason i'm going with a micro atx build is because that's the only way i can have a really nice looking 900D esk case without shelling out 300 dollars.

I think all motherboard sizes serve their purpose, but I personally would prefer having a full system with all of my extra cards, or a compact machine with an ITX board. The only problem with ITX is that onboard sound is not to the point where i feel it needs to be; at the same time I do have an external mix-amp for my headphones so problem solved. :p
