I have an Enlight 300W 7237Ox3 tower case (ATX?).
Can I put a microATX board (Asus A7N266-VM) in it? Do I need some extra mount or something else?
Thanks for the help.

Is this true of all mATX boards and ATX cases (by design?). I just ordered a MSI MS-6318 mATX board with a raidtronics/Raidmax 208 ATX/babyAT case from somewhere wierd and newegg (respectively) and I didn't notice until after checkout. I was going to call in the morning to switch, but if it'll fit fine, I can live with it.

[EDIT] Update: Yep, it worked. The case has the right holes for the mATX board, even though not published as such.

unless you've got some very wierd case, any standard ATX case will also support mATX mobo's as well.
