Why do people prefer ATX Micro towers compared to ATX Mids.
What reason, aside from size/transportability, could anyone have to buy the most?
why consume more if you dont have to?
Size/transportability and cost.
Because I didn't want to do 3/4-way sli/crossfire
All ATX or EATX does is provide more PCI slots, of which, I would only use one

Because I don't need 5 graphics cards, and usually only have 1 other PCI/PCIe card
Because ATX midtower cases are still pretty damn large and I'd like to have as small of a PC as possible without going full miniITX no-cards-but-a-gpu electric heater mode

Even for a mid tower, you're giving yourself space for an additional huge card and third party coolers, fans etc.
In my system I have a 2D accelerator, Voodoo2 in SLI, Vortex 2 sound card, network card, and a usb 2.0 card. I need at least 6 slots in my systems.

Even in my cheap Zalman t1 I have room for a 13" r9 280x and options up top for water cooling

Because I'm not a gaymur cuck.
Mini itx case is perfect. Amd apu so no video card and enough space for the 4 hard drives I use. All in a small low power package.
