So I just got my Corsair H50 n the mail yesterday and I tried to install it in my machine, but found that it didn't include brackets for an LGA775 socket processor if it was in a BTX motherboard. Mother fucker... I'm so aggravated right now. It doesn't say anything about not supporting BTX motherboards on their website. In fact it specifically states that all LGA 775 socket processors will be able to use the H50. Fuck, I'm so annoyed. I don't have any extra thermal grease, and now I have to go out and buy some more just so I can use my computer again. I hate it when websites don't use proper documentation for their products. Especially well known quality PC component manufacturers such as Corsair. I've already contacted corsair about it. Let's see what they say... -_- /rant

I'm not going to hack this thing into my dell. I bit the bullet and purchased a new case. I'm impressed with the Antec 300. It's got all the features of a great case at a low price point (65.00).

Case:


This case will clearly do the job. All I need to do is purchase a motherboard now. I'm happy with the RAM and processor I already have:

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139004

The next vidio card I purchase is probably going to be a 4890 1GB. Anyone have any tips on a new motherboard? I'm thinking about:

MSI's motherboard as they produce high quality Mobo's and offer an awesome warranty:

Ohhhh, I really like this one:
