First Micro ATX build confusion issues!

[woollywinka]

Hi everyone, never done a micro atx build before. Most Micro ATX cases state that they are compatible with ATX psu's, but they don't state that they are compatible with SFX psu's. Is it an unwritten rule that micro ATX cases will always be compatible so the manufacturer does not bother to state it?

Specifically I'm thinking of pairing the Fractal Design Core 1500 with the Silverstone ST30SF Strider 300W (Its a light build and I don't need any serious power).

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Definitely no
ATX and SFX are two completely different size with SFX being about 1/3 the size (and why you dont see them putting out gobbs of power). For a manufacturer to support both sizes in one case would be quite the feat.
