Thank you for all your advices. (advices?!)



I have decided to go for a new case and basically build a new machine. (kony
convinced me with his Gateway conversion photos)



Motherboard: http://www.dabs.com/uk/ProductView?quicklinx=31GB

I have ordered a MicroStar SoA KT600+ ATX A R L 2DDR from Dabs.com £43.00.
It will take DDR and SDRAM. As a temporary measure, will my old PC100 memory
work in it (the motherboard spec says PC2100-3200 compatible)?



Processor: http://www.dabs.com/uk/ProductView?quicklinx=2X4Z

I have ordered a Duron 1.8Ghz Socket A 266FSB £32.00



Case: Not yet ordered (advice please)

Looking at Gaming case 400W - Black. £37.00

Includes 400W silent PSU 12cm

Side window

3 internal fans

Temperature control

USB and audio

Screwless chassis

What is the advantage of a gaming case?
