Happy to report, that I built this thing and lived to tell about it.

I actually like the Rosewill case, very roomy, seems to cool well.

So far seems to run nicely, no plans to overclock so maybe this board will be adequate.

Thanks all.

Jimsom88, good to hear. Be forwarned, you will be tempted to overclock. I looked at that case. Nice!

 I have this board with the e8400 as well. I have been running it at 3.6ghz with stock fan and heatsink for several months with no problems. Temps are 31c at idle and 44c playing AHII with room temp being 73f. Just leave the cpu voltage at the stock setting, and set the bus from 333 to 400 with a 9 multiplier. I am running Corsair Dominator memory that is actualy 1066 but I'am running it underclocked to 800 set at 4-4-4-12 with 2.1v and a 2 multiplier. The memory actually seems to perform better underclocked.
