Thermaltake Lanbox Lite VF6000BWS

[Trillionsin]

Need help figuring if this will work with my board. My board is an ATX board. (ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO USB3 AMD 880G AM3 Motherboard)

I am confused because of the differences in the listing. I need to know if this is actually a Micro/Mini ATX or if it supports ATX.

If not, can anyone suggest a cool case such as this style? I would appreciate it.

Sorry to say, but from what I've seen; the Thermaltake Lanbox Lite VF6000BWS is a microATX-case, and will not support your motherboard :dead: .

As seen on this picture, it only has 4 expansion-slots, just like a regular microATX. The ATX-cases usually have seven or more.

What is your preferred budget and style? Maybe you can find something as slimmed and equivalently cool just like the Thermaltake-case?

My budget is around $160 -or+ $50 depending on what you find. Id like the same type of style is possible.... a boxy case, rather than the typical tower. Or something with some unique characteristics untypical of most tower cases. Anything you find, I would like to see though!

Here is one I have found so far, but a little pricey for me at the moment.

Also, I realized I am looking for some decent HTPC cases, but not really for that purpose.

Well, how 'bout this one?

It is still a bit heavy on the price, but within your +/-$50 margin. It accepts ATX boards, but requires a riserboard (usually comes included).
