Hey guys !

I was just browsing through a couple of pc stores websites and I came across a really cool case, the kolink satellite. It’s really small and cheap, around 30 euros...

I saw that it supported some micro atx  boards, but my board , the asrock n68 gs4 r2.0 , is 2 millimeters too wide according to the specs, but I don’t know if that’s the manufacturer playing it safe or if 2 millimeters make that much of a difference... 

What do you guys think? I’m just asking because it’s a perfect case for me, I’m trying to get rid off my oversized case ...

I think it's just a misprint. Boards have to conform to the sizing laid out by the form factors, otherwise there'd be no point in having them. It'll fit. Kind of a cool case really, it's like a copy of the 110 Elite but for mATX instead of mITX.

But I think that this is a mini itx case that supports a few micro atx boards, it’s like an up to (number)

I just don’t know how much of a difference 2 millimeters make in this type of cases , I’m concerned that it might it the power supply...

I don’t know what board is that, so I don’t know the size, but it looks like a really close fit

I think it will fit. It might be tight, as it looks like in the example above, either he didnt want it,  or there wasnt enough room to plug in the USB 3.0 connector....

But i just found out that the motherboard above is 17.5 cm wide, it's an asus h81m-k, mine is 18.3 cm... not confidence inspiring
