Fear58 Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Hey all. I am looking to going from a mid size towered case (that I do not like...the door gets in the way of the XFI sound card's front bay) to a micro atx case, the apevia X-qpack. The Apevia will also be alot more portable, which really appeals to me as I go to college, and come home on the weekends (would like to bring my box now and then). Also, it looks a hell of a lot cooler Anyway, I'm going from THIS.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813188006 to THIS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813188007 From what I gather, it is basically the same board, except one is a micro atx and has only one PCI slot (not too biggie for me, that slot will be my sound card.) That means I SHOULD be able to transfer out my AMD 939 X2, 7900, Hard drive, DVDRW, and RAM with little effort, I should think. Would anyone recommend me to not do this? And why? Oh, I'm also sacrificing my Antec 550watt PSU, which has been good to me. I don't know if it will fit in the case I'm getting... Will the stock 420watt be just fine for my one 7900? And what If I plan to SLI? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144112 Basically, I plan on selling my PSU (if it doesn't fit) my motherboard, and my old case on ebay. Thanks!

bigred Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 only reason not to is overclocking. mATX boards tend to lack the electronic components for starters. and second they don't lend themselves well to cooling like a much more open ATX setup. other than that it should be fine.
