On the surface, micro ATX builds seem to make a lot of sense - they allow you to install some really powerful hardware, but they take up a LOT less space than full tower ATX builds. What's not to love?
Well unfortunately, going with a mATX case or motherboard can be consequences down the line - especially if you ever want to expand your system with extra PCIe cards. Plus there are other flaws with the micro ATX form factor, resulting in me regretting my choice of motherboard and case for my workstation PC's build - as I discuss in this video.
