EATX in a Antec 1200 Tower Case

[DeChe]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Im looking at building a new PC in the coming months and was looking at using the following Motherboard and Case:

Case: Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred Full Tower Case
http://store.antec.com/Product/enclosure-gear_for_gamers/twelve-hundred/0-761345-15120-7.aspx
MB: Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Z68 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio EATX Motherboard
http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/Maximus_IV_ExtremeZ#specifications

The details for the Antec 1200 say "Compatible Motherboards: Mini-ITX, microATX, Standard ATX" however the MB im looking at is an EATX. I cant find any Case that is Antec that has EATX compatibility even the high end gaming ones. Would an EATX fit in a Case like this even though it doesnt say it supports it?

Regards,

Dave.

EATX is only supported by a small number of cases. The Antec 1200 is not one of them. You can see all of the cases supporting eatx MBs in this listing at Newegg:
