Hi , I have an aspire tc 895 ua 92 , already upgraded to the 500 w p/s ( cut case to modify) , and put in an xfx radeon rx 580 xxx edition 8 gb , just fits with some space , and a variable speed exhaust fan ,. Looking to put in a bigger case , do not care about front ports that much , can re route if needed . DTX form factor is what found out it to be . Anyone know what it would fit? Atx , matx? Never swapped out mobo before , so do not screw mounting orientation.

    The Aspire TC-895 has 3x top mounting screw holes and 3x bottom mounting screw holes, its mainboard is a proprietary Acer size and it doesn't fit a particular ATX standard size case but the TC-895 is a mobo that will fit in a mATX case, you can make sure by measuring the TC-895 mobo inside the case that you have to make 100% sure, as you will also have to modify the new case mobos securing points as shown below, as those are not ATX standard also. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    Yes, the DTX form factor uses the same mount points as microATX. The big difference is the 'diving board' out the front to bring ports to the case without cabling. You will either lose access to those ports with a new case or have to do some really creative cabling. The cabling looks like it's well within your skill set though, based on the other mods you have done. :)

    Thank you for replies. I guess i just buy case that that takes multiple boards (atx,matx,itx) , seems best route
