Hi I'm converting to a mini itx system, and starting from scratch with a new case and everything
Several questions about these expansion slots on the cases.
Are they for graphics cards only or what?
For example one case I was looking at was the Antec ISK 310, but it has a half size expansion slot on the back - what is this? What can you place here?
Also do expansion slots have anything to do with these new PCIe SSD cards? What about M 2 SSD? How do I know if the case will support these? Or is this a feature of the motherboard only? I doubt I will get that now since I already have a 2.5" SSD, however for future proofing, will I still be able to utilize those faster SSD?
Other cases I looked at was the Cooler Master Elite 110 which seems to offer more room, even space for full ATX power supply and full graphics cards.
Or even smaller the Silverstone Sugo Series SG13.
