Its a good gaming rig, not the best though. Might want to flash the 9800SE to 9800NP or Pro. CS Tip #1 - Don't try to shoot with a knife

your mobo's form factor is ATX (pretty standard), and your case is designed for ATX mobos. so you're good to go.

that's what i was looking at but then i looked at the pictures of the mobo and the case and the 3 audio prongs under the second set of USB/ethernet ports didnt have any place to go on the picture of the case. but hey, i thoguht it'd work, the site suggests the case for that mobo and you say it works so there we go ;). thanks both of ya.

The blanking plate with all the motherboard output holes is removeable. You will get another one packaged in with your motherboard that'll replace the one already on the case and will definitely be compatible with your motherboard.

Here's my take on your list. Get a mobile 2600+ Barton instead. Use a wattage calculator prior to settling for your PSU (this may impact your Case selection) If you insist on the 9800SE and you intend to flash it to Radeon 9800 XT as recommended above, make sure you get the 256-bits/128MB version (it improves your odds, but those cards are hard to find) or save up some more and get something better. B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

whats the different between the mobile 2600 and the XP 2600? and also, i'll hopefully be able to get a new PSU cuz 350 watts sucks balls and I WANT MORE POWER!!! MUHAHAHAHHA!!! the card should also be more than enough to what i currently want to play and also i dont know how to flash the bios or anything so i'll have to learn that after i get all my scheiz running. about half of the people were also saying that their card had a 256-bit arcitecture, so hopefully mine will too.
