how do you define "too big"?


normally, people ask whether if component X would fit in case Y. meaning usually people will ask if the case is too small.......

The z68 bit doesnt matter, the bit that does is ATX, MATX or whatever. I would recommend at least an ATX in a case like that as anything smaller is just wasting money/features.

Nooo it isn't that cavernous. A standard ATX is probably about right, but even if you do go smaller, as Sudafed said ..... "Room to breathe!"

Quoted myself from the GTX680 owners thread - take a look at my pictures and see for yourself!

Those pictures help great. Was wondering if the size of the case was to big being a mid tower for a Z68 motherboard. Didn't want an oversized case if not needed but those pics indicate that it isn't.
