Ok, here is the basic rig i have that i just built:

Except there are 2 stics of 256 set up in dual channel config, and i don't have that case, i have a HP case that i overhauled, it had a mini atx in it previously but framework for full atx. It all fits in, except around the heatsink i have the main board power up against the side of it, not blocking the airflow for the cpu fan. It has to be placed there because directly above the power supply for the mobo are the optical drives, and there is no other route for the power cables. Do any of you think this will be a problem. I think there is a enough airflow for the processor's fan. There are no extrace case fans though at the moment, only the cpu fan and the power supply fan. I can add maybe one more however, do you think this is a wise move? One note, there isn't going to be any high end gfx cards in here so that will take away a lot of heat, only a 4x agp 8mb sdram card. That's all i'll need in this box.
Thanks for your responses.
Oh, also, does anyone know what the atx12v C2 power connection on this mobo is, i think it's a standard for all newer ones, but the power supply i have is an older one and only has the main C1 power to the mobo cable. It will run without it but i'm wondering if i'll need it. Thanks again.
