    hello
    does anyone know if the x58 mobos are standard ATX size? I vaguely remember seeing that it was slightly larger than 12"x9.6" (12"x10.6"?)

    the thing is that i want to get a new case (LianLi A05b) now for my current 750i build, but I want to eventually switch to an i7 proc (and keep the case)

    anyone know if x58 mobos will fit inside a lianli A05b??

    not all are the standard size. The Rampage II Extreme is an inch wider--10.6"--rather than the standard ATX width of 9.6." The mounting holes are all in the same positions though. Someone at Anandtech worked up this photo to demonstrate.

    An inch deeper (front to back) to be accurate. The width is the standard ATX 12" (305mm).

    I can tell you in... Ooo 3 weeks :p

    The Tech Report did a decent review of the MSI and Asus recently. I like Geoff's reviews there.
