i am building me a beast for music production / studio work.

i have a new smaller tower box i think the guy said it needed a mini mobo or some kind smaller one.

How do i tell which ones will fit in the case? is there something on the case that gives me a size or some kinda indication?

i can begin to research build types till i know how to see if sh!t will fit.

Cheers,
jason

doing some scrolling i think it has to be mini-atx is that a size or some companies special type

mobo got 3 sizes nowdays. atx, micro-atx and mini-itx.

Okay went to the gigabyte website but I don't understand chipsets and socket combos. I need a small mobo not tiny tho I want i5 2 core. 4 gb ram and sata2 or faster hdd. What is faster for hdd. Also need USB3 and decent nic and a decent music production level soundcard

ssd will be fastest disk for now. sadly usb3 not yet supported.
