I'd say get a cheaper mobo if you don't plan on going SLi (probably another $450 anyways if you did) and save your self ~$100.

yea i realized that, but this board isnt the SLI capable board, it only has agp. THere is the same board though that is 100 bucks more that has sli pcix...

If agp what you want I would consider this socket 939 board instead of the asus
MSI "K8N Neo2 Platinum" NVIDIA nForce3 ULTRA

No. Dell designs there cases along side there motherboards...they almost always will NOT fit anyother motherboard. You can't use a dell case if you are buying say an Asus board or some other brand.

I say this from what i've heard (millions of times i might add). Dell cases are from what i have heard only compatible with Dell mobo's. There mounting holes are oddly placed and everything is designed different.

Nice case, I like it. That should be great for gaming.

**Cromewell** · 03-31-2005, 03:18 AM

use the case dimensions and compare them to the motherboard dimensions if you want to use it.
