This one is rather easy. On your main computer, what form factor are you using?

Asus P6t7WS, Form factor is CEB 12x10.5 inches. Since the bolt pattern is ATX that's what i voted. But I understand that the CEB standard is slightly different in that it allows for slightly wider boards than true ATX.

What if you have multiple rigs? I have one ATX and three mATX rigs, though only one of the mATX rigs isn't ancient.

two of the rigs are my "main" rigs and see about equal use. Though now that one of them got the 25" monitor, I guess I'll be spending a lot more time on that one. :wink:

mATX - when I built it (Jan 09), that fit my needs & budget.

There are other things in other sizes here, though, too - laptop, a few servers (two mATX, one ATX), and my main Media Center (which sports a nice, lots-of-slots ATX board.)
But, the desktop is mATX.

Might need updated now.

iTX is surprisingly my main PC used now. Is it the most powerful box that I go to when I need "work" done? No...but I can replace EVERY desktop in this home with an Antec300-150 and an i3 3225/iTX board and be just fine. I still use the ATX tower with 6x6 cores for work, but it's very rare these days that I call upon that ability.

iTX has a LOT of power on tap. As the user crowd influxes toward phones and tablets, I don't see the actual need for towers these days besides actual work or comparing ePenis sizes. Power users will always want ATX, but I'm afraid that it's not really needed in the days of 4TB drives and 6x6 core power houses. i.e, they're focusing on ARM/Snapdragon more than PC desktops with $700 videocards and $1,200 CPU's shoved into them.
