Why do PowerSpec PCs use microATX mainboards?
Options
I may be wrong but it seems to me it's fairly silly that so many of the PowerSpec pcs use microATX main boards. Expansion is zilch with only one PCI slot and 2 RAM slots. Since I have no desire nor wish for glass cases, which have lousy heat dissipation and increased risk of damage and injury, all steel cases are the only real option.
