I measured the Addtronics 6890A case as having an overall MB mounting depth of about 14.5" with the corner near the drive bay overhang having a depth of 9.25". The circuit board will slip behind the HD bracket... the concern would be if large MB parts stick out from the board (the HD bracket is removable anyway if that becomes a problem in the future) The larger ASUS P2B -L -S motherboards are listed with at 10.55" depth, but notice they have the corner cut-out to avoid the bracket problem. The P2B-F is a nice revision of the P2B and I am considering it (with it's 5th PCI and 4th RAM slots I may not need the -L version). I am also considering the new Abit AX6-2 after reading about it on friday.. I see it's released on Feb 1st but I wonder when it reaches dealers. (This could explain the recent shortage of the AH6, I wonder if they are cutting back on manufacturing that board.) ASUS says Computer Shopper awarded the ASUS P2B motherboard the 'Best Buy of the Year' award for 1998. asus.com (ASUS responded about the slow web site, they said it was due to mirroring of other sites and downloading of latest BIOS updates.) Emory, Did PCNUT really quote a combo price for an ASUS MB and overclocked 300A? I thought they only did overclocking on the ABIT boards because they have easy softmenu setup.
