The first thing that's always noticed when doing a mainboard review is the board's physical size. Mainboards tend to vary greatly in their dimensions, even among those that utilize the same core logic chipset. The MS-6119 is a relative joy to behold due to its small size, particularly its length. As seen in the picture of the board, the distance between the beginning of the first ISA peripheral slot and the leading edge of the board's surface is roughly one inch. That makes the 6119 one of the smallest boards we've seen recently, which is a boon to installers as well as troubleshooters alike.
As you'd expect from its small size, fitting the MS-6119 into virtually any case is no problem. Even in cramped mini-tower models the board fits with space to spare, while still mounting securely.
