Favorite form factor poll

[Atmos]

"technically" last computer I updated was my workstation. (Finally made the transition to fully SSD scratch disks and storage, with automated backups to my home server.)

That would be eATX, since it's a dual socket board with two E5 2650v3. (10 core haswell based xeon @ 2.3ghz if you're not versed in server/workstation equipment)

 

Though, the last computer I fully built up from scratch would be the previous incarnation of my gaming rig, with an ATX board back in 2015.

I built a mini ITX PC for my bro, and it was a NIGHTMARE. It still has some noise issues with it's mostly cool Pentium CPU, but since ther is little to no airflow in the case then the little fan on the aftermarket cooler I bought for it has to spin quite loudly to keep it cool.

Currently working on an atx build in an old mid tower, which has been interesting.

I would like to know how many people like which form factor. I go mini itx all the way, just for the small size.

mATX is the best compromise of compatibility/performance and size.

atx..just good old standard atx, need space for all those expansion cards no one buys anymore since everything is on the mobo.

Else. I own an ATX system but I'd love to have some stupid desk pc or super-thin or some other silly way to present my things.

yet surprisingly its the least favorite among the top 3. I like mATX too.

STX because it's fucking tiny. Or thin mini ITX. Voted ITX because it kinda covers those form factors.

DTX for small factor systems (Why compromise on ITX when DTX motherboards can fit in most ITX cases.)

ATX for really anything else.

microATX, best balance between size and performance
