Hi, I have a BTX motherboard from an old system and Im looking for an ATX case that would hold it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks

you could mod a case to fit it but it's really hard and needs tons of modding.
go with a stacker 832. i think those fit BTX cases.

good luck, also i see you're new to OCN

Welcome to OCN, hope you enjoy your stay

Depends what BTX motherboard, if its a Dell then it won't work. They are usually proprietary BTX designed by Dell. If its a Intel BTX then it should work if you mod the case. CM BTX cases are pretty expensive.

Thank you for your responses.

What do you mean by modding the case? Drilling holes?

Its a Foxconn motherboard. I cant find many options. This is the case, but I really dont want to go full bore into BTX. Id rather spend the money on somethign i can use later on.

I was just searching for an ATX case that would be compatible with a BTX motherboard. how would you read this review?

I have another question. This motherboard mounts on the opposite side of the case. In otherwords access is on the right panel NOT the left. Its mounted on the left. Im starting to think this wont mount on an ATX case at all.

I wouldn't pay much attention to Newegg reviews. Most of them are un-reliable. The Antec 300 is NOT a BTX case for proprietary BTX motherboards.

That motherboard is a proprietary BTX one just like my Dell, it will not fit in any ATX case. That case is custom designed to fit the motherboard.
