Hi everyone, I currently have an alienware aurora r4 and was planning on moving the whole system to an atx case, specifically the Fractal Design Meshify C Mini. The motherboard is micro atx, like the case. I wanted to make sure the motherboard was not proprietary in terms of it fitting into a new case. I will attach a link of what the motherboard looks like below. https://www.ebay.com/i/164036470558...MI5KKuhcOV6AIVA9bACh3k2QDPEAQYAyABEgI4x_D_BwE
 
Solution
If it's a micro ATX motherboard, then by definition it's not proprietary since that is a set standard for size and screw hole positions. You can simply measure the motherboard and check the screw positions, then look up the micro atx standard and see if it all lines up.
