Hello, I did post recently regarding this, but managed to forget to add the actual poll. Tried contacting a mod, but was unsuccessful. So I thought I'd simply re-post with the poll added this time. Thanks guys! Original message:
Its les the form factor, more general case layout. I prefer massive spacious cases to give me space to lay things out. Others prefer more compact designs. I mean, I'm going to be putting a MATX in my Elysium next...
Nice to see you sorted the poll out. Whilst i use an xL motherboard, my case suits whatever the next one up will be. XXL maybe who knows?, but i know if and when it does, im ready for it. However my latest wood build is, like Bloody pete says. Im doing an mini itx mobo in a case which is smaller than the matx standard but bigger than an mini itx. I think your likely to get better info on different forums, as most people on here are pretty dedicated modders and come up with stuff thats way off your standard stock product. Looking at the poll its great to see people managing to liquid cool the mini itx format.
Do you want it to be a niche system or appeal to the general public? For niche, go with matx or itx, smaller is definitely catching on more and more. A well build case meant for these in that form factor would probably do well in a limited market with little to no competition. For general though, you can't go wrong with a standard atx.
I've always loved the madness on fitting big watercooling loops into tiny cases. So, mATX or ATX for me, but in a small-ish case.
Well what is your target price range? It really depends on that. Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk
Bit Tech have a photo of it on their facebook if you want to see it, as I harassed them into doing it...
