Swiftkey Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I have after much research on the web, what i believe is an alienware area-51 alx Case. While I'm pretty sure that this case can hold an atx motherboard I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm this for me? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroFight Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 According to the Dell website, the case does support standard ATX motherboards: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/alienware-area51-alx/pd#secondaryContent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftkey Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I understand that if I have this motherboard in it it must be able to hold an atx form factor MB, but I have a person challenging my statement and saying that it's a proprietary micro atx form factor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftkey Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 ah wait, I spoke too soon, this isn't the same case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Also note that it may hold an ATX sized board but it probably has a small amount of room inside of it despite its appearance. It will most likely be just a normal mid-tower stamped steel case, with Alienwares 'pretty' plastic outer shell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I would also note that some of the grill appears to be missing on the bottom left corner, and it looks like it's been knocked around a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil69 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 If your buying this case because you like the looks I would pass on this and buy another Alien case that has all of the pieces. This offering looks like something I would put on the curb on Thursday morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
