I know that there are a few form factors in existence, what is your favorite?
XT: original IBM form factor from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
AT: replaced the first IBM form factor, full tower only
baby-AT: a smaller version of AT
LPX: not really a "standard" but was used for proprietary systems like compaq and gateway
NLX: a low profile form factor similar to ATX but used mainly in desktop (horizontal) cases
ATX: a big improvement over AT and the most prolific by far, it can hold any ATX variant except EATX
miniATX/microATX: smaller variants of ATX
FlexATX: the smallest version of ATX
EATX: a large extended ATX for workstations and servers but can hold any ATX or ATX variant
WTX: a very large form factor for server chassis that can also hold
ATX motherboards
ITX: a very new form factor that is geared to very very small systems
