The Tuniq Tower will be the best in my opinion for your cpu. http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/rev...?id=189&page=3

You will need a slim northbrige cooler as your graphics card slot is very near the northbridge chipset. That's why I recommend this http://www.pccasegear.com.au/prod3513.htm . It doesn't come with a fan but you can always mount a 60mm fan on it (using cable ties maybe).

I like your choice of CPU and MoBo, but mine is 939, so there's that

Anyway, I would reccomend an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64, which you can get for $30 from Newegg.com

Good luck. And BTW, how dare you plan a Pentium build... how could you forsake the beauty that is AMD????

i know i know, i am soooo sorry, but i want dual core and im not forking out shed loads of money for amd when i can get a highly clockable (althought pentium) chip, errghh, it honestly does make me feel funny when i think about it but i havent had a pentium since p2's came out, since then ive been amd with no probs, oh yeah thanks for the nice cpu n mobo setup thing, yeah i was gonna get the 939 bt i got the 754 pretty cheap from a guy at work, also 939 is pci-e and i couldnt afford at the time, i mean its all ok but its started to idle at about 40 now, compared to the low 30's, just because of the weather tho, everything is spotless in there with nice airflow, thanks for the help though guys.
