Return case + mobo?

QuantumBit · January 23, 2017

Hi so I recently finished my PC build, and it came out wayyy bigger than I imagined so I was wondering if I could return the PC and MOBo and build a mITX build. It says the refund button on Newegg but I was wondering what I needed to return (box etc)

Also for the case I wanted to go with a ThermalTake Core v1, but 10x10x12 wouldn't fit so I was wondering on any recommended cases? For refrence my old PC which fits with around 2-3" of space is 15" long, 11" tall and 4" wide (Also what would this form factor be called?)

One more thing, can someone explain mATX? the mobo I have is mATX so I don't know if I have to return it, because I thought mATX was just ATX but shorter.

Thanks!

mATX is just a shorter ATX board. If you're still within the return period, then you'll have to pay a restocking fee and return shipping and youjust pack up whatever you want to return with whatever it came with and send it back.

You can return the items back to Newegg, you just need to make sure that you return everything that came with your motherboard and case. You will most likely need the box that the items came in (shipping box) to send back to Newegg because you can't just send the item naked.

Also, if you want a case about that size, you would have to wait until the Dr. Zaber Sentry case is released. This thing barely meets your requirements are is one of the smallest that will be on the market. Anything bigger than this will probably not fit your area that you put your PC in.

Honestly, people say it's a shorter ATX (mATX), but the size is just a slightly wider and longer ITX because an ATX board is just way bigger and is more comparable to an ITX.
