budget computer question

[Shmalls]

I am building a budget computer (not for me) and I am wondering if I will have any probs putting a micro ATX board in a ATX case??

this MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813130041

in this case: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811129150

the reason I want to use this combo is for the integrated video, unless someone can suggest a normal ATX board with built in video, i couldnt find one.

THANKS

Yes, that will work. Other way around will not work.

According to my friend, the 6100 is a very weak chip. Worse than his old Radeon 9800.

But to answer your question, that ATX case will be able to handle a mATX board.

Yeah it works. I've had my Biostar TForce6100 working in a standard ATX case for a few months now with no problems. (I also recommend the Biostar over your choice because of fantastic overclocking capabilities and proven track record...plus it has the same IGP)

Best of luck either way.

TForce 6100-939 FTW.

While the 6100 isn't as nice as a dedicated video card, it's certainly a great choice for anyone looking to a budget build. I never would have thought 6k would have been possible on 3dMark01 with an onboard chip. You'd be suprise at the games with decent frame rates when played on 800x600 with medium to low graphic detail....(UT2k4, Doom3, HL2)

How would the 6100 onboard video fair against a 9600XT?
