does my case support EATX boards?

[glitchmaster0001]

Hi so i have an antec plusview 1000amg case and from the looks of it its a full tower so i was wondering if this chassis would fit a dual socket EATX server board. i plan do a used workstation pc for rendering so I would like to do a 16 core 32 thread workstation. what is the size and dimensions of an eatx board anyways? thanks guys

no

idk why you care about the size though, you just need to buy a case that says "EATX" or "HPTX"

because my case has screw holes for the motherboard and it is 13 inches across by 12 inches long 

also because my case is over a decade old (13 years old) so chances are they dont have the detailed specs for it

the case size isnt what matters

its the size of the motherboard tray

 

and no EATX and HPTX has been a thing for a long time and if the case supported it then it would say

also that case looks horrible, and has some of the worst reviews in existence, so its about time you upgrade it anyway

the spec sheet says atx

features list says eatx  

They use the same screws anyway, back when I was (more of) an idiot (ah the days of a 3820 $400 motherboard that had guns on it a generic PSU and a gtx 650 thing was dead silent though) and had my X79 Assassin 2 it fit in one of these (not the exact one but very similar)

Older cases werent nearly as refined as cases today. They often have sharp edges.
