Hi I have a question.
I hav elooked i in the archive here and found a message stating that i can replace a Micro ATX P.S with a ATX.
The reason is that my P.S (micro) is burnd and i have to replace it. Now this is a microatx and i´m having some problem finding a new one. So is it true that i can replace the Micro ATX with a ATX (Don´t want to spend money and/or burn my motherboard for nothing).
P.S I know that the size wont be the same but that isn´t the issue here.

Thanks in advance.

I think you have it the other way around..you usually can replace an ATX with a micro ATX....In this case the size of the mobo does matter

Thanx for the answer.
Sorry if I was unclear. I am aware that the physical size will be different but I will make som e physical changes in the chassi. The question was if i could use a ATX instead of a micro in the sense of voltage.
I know that ATX has +-5.5V +-12V +3.3 V and that micro doesn´t have -5.5V.
I just want to know that it will work regarding the elctrical point of view.
Thanx again for answering before.

I have used regular ATX PWS's on MIcroATX and ATX motherboards many times.
Check your motehrboard specs.

As I remember the smallest Micro MBs still
available are BIOSTAR M7VIG and SAPHIRE
A3-M275. Both Socket A. Perhaps you want to check them out.
