Micro ATX Mobo

Right, my 6 year old pc has kicked the bucket and I'm looking at doing a rebuild on a budget and using my case, gpu and hdd's to save a few pennies and get a working pc again.

The mobo I'm looking at (as part of a bundle) is the Asus H81M-K, which I believe is a micro atx?
Will it be alright in my Antec 900 case?

Antec's website is *awful* so I closed that tab but I would be amazed if a case that supports ATX boards didn't support a mATX one.

depends on the age of the case tbh.

Antec 900 specs say Compatible Motherboards: Mini-ITX, microATX, Standard ATX

Unless as @TdC mentions there are different revisions then it should be fine.

Thanks guys, wanting to keep the cost down as much as possible, but decided to throw in a cheeky 120gb samsung 840 ssd to make it a bit more speedy.

I dunno about versions. Go for it. Also, them Sammy SSD's are sweet as.

As far as I know the standard dictates that the MicroATX mounting holes must be in the same position on the board as the ATX ones (I think there can be 4 or 6 on MicroATX and 8 or 9 on ATX). As for everything else, the board is just shorter so you get less PCI slots, everything up top with the rear I/O panel is identical between the 2 formats.
