Well the case, hard drives and cd/dvd drives are being reused from an old dell P3, the thing is a huge case and i have measured it, everything should fit, but it will be snug.

Well i got it al running with vista x64 and its such a HUGE improvement over any PC i have scene. I got 12800 in 3Dmark06 is this considered good? I have the e7200 running at 3.6 Ghz on a 1.15vcore the cores idle around 27-30 degrees C, and i only have the CPU cooler and one fan in the case, i dont have any programs to stress it yet, so i don't know the load temps.
__________________For some reason the bios is only recognizing the e7200 of have the multiplyers of 6-9, not 9.5, anyone know how to fix this? My Vista scores are 5.7 CPU, 5.9 for memory and graphics, and 4.4 for my 6 year old hard drive.
