What is the difference between an ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX case?
The main difference between ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX cases is size and expandability.
- ATX cases : These are the largest, compatible with ATX boards (30.5 x 24.4 cm) and offer more space for components such as graphics cards, multiple hard drives and better cooling options. They are ideal for advanced configurations and gaming.
- Micro-ATX cases : More compact than ATX cases (24.4 x 24.4 cm), they support up to 4 PCI slots, offering a balance between size and functionality. They are suitable for users looking for a smaller computer without sacrificing too many features.
- Mini-ITX cases : The smallest (17 x 17 cm), perfect for those looking to build a mini PC with fewer expansion ports and reduced power consumption. Ideal for compact and minimalist setups, but with less room for upgrades.
Each format has its own use depending on the space and expansion needs required by your configuration. Choose the tower that best suits you from our catalogue.
