B) tight...oh and i didnt give you ram...you already got it..sorry. Yeah that 5700 IMPRESSES me a LOT! I had no clue it ran that fast...I like that card You will have a very good gaming PC that will last. If you like that last case...it should fit just fine!

Any case that is ATX form factor will work.

I like the fact that it comes with a blowhole roof fan and the option of using a 120mm fan in the back.
IMO, the fan in the side window is useless and just there for decoration.

You'll never use all the extra 3.5" expansion bays but they are configured properly to maybe set up an effective airbox/ manifold for the fans on the front cover.

Get some other opinions, I am a crank/extremist when it comes to case design/layout.

Thanx for everyones info, but I have one more question, what cooling fans will I need?

[clocker]

The ones that will keep your components cool and happy.










Seriously.

Who knows?
You will have to play around and see what works for you.
Trust me, I have done a lot of experimenting, and there is no hard and fast rule.
Just to get you started, I would use a 120mm fan running at 5v on the rear of the case and the same on the front (if you can). Ignore that lighty-uppy joke on the side panel and maybe even the fan in the roof ( that will depend alot on how they made the grill for it- if it's wide open then good, leave it in place).
What heatsink you are using will make all the difference when it comes to what you need/ how effective your cooling is.

Yeah get a big 120mm fan in the back pullling air out (called an exhaust fan). Also having one in front bottom to push air in is good. I believe thats the best setup. Theres on that includes 3 fans but its a bit more confusing. You already have a heatsink and fan for your Pentium 4 right?

"Believe" being the operative word here.

Not to blow my own horn here ( oh, WTF, why not?), but if you search back a few pages, I have written several topics regarding case cooling. Pictures are included for those with short attention spans. I spent the time and effort specifically to help out those in your situation.
Please avail yourself of the resources to be found around here.
