    i Want to Buy This Motherboard
    Asus M5a88-M Socket Am3+
    And It's SPECs says that it's an uATX Form factor
    i have a mid tower case
    NZXT beta evo
    so can i get this motherboard to work on my case or it won't fit?
    as i am guessing that"uATX" i s " Ultra ATX" , i don't know if that's true becoz as i know the ultra ATX needs a full tower case .

    i'd really appreciate your Help

    Actually that would be MicroATX. The lowercase "u" is substitutionary for " µ" the letter Mu in Greek. In the SI world, it's used to indicate micro-

    It sounds like you're thinking of E-ATX, extended ATX. There is no Ultra ATX formfactor.
    µATX motherboards are shorter than the standard ATX standard, and any case accepting ATX should have no problem accomodating a µATX motherboard.
