Which is bigger? A minitower or a microtower?

What are the implications of choosing the smaller one?

Cheers to all!

A micro tower is smaller. It typically houses a microATX motherboard, a hard
drive, a floppy drive (optional with Dell), and a CD or DVD drive with (usually)
a second drive bay for another CD or DVD drive.

A mini tower typically accepts a larger full ATX (or microATX which is smaller)
board and has one or two additional drive bays.

The newer BTX standard is somewhat similar... Ben Myers
