Can you check how many openings there are in the case for case fans? I think it may not have enough of them for good airflow...

Don't use a prebuilt , poor Airflow case with newer components.

There is only 1 as you can see on the backside, the rest of the openings are for GPU's soundcard's etc, but the fan that is being used atm, is very good, never had any heat problems with my current setup:
Core 2 duo E8400 3.0ghz
Ati radeon HD 5450
8gb ddr2 ram
300W power supply

IKNOW THIS IS VERY OUTDATED haha. that's why i ordered new stuff.

i am totally stripped down by ordering all the stuff, will it be a problem if i use this case for 1 month, and order a new one next month ?

or is it that bad as in: it will destroy my new equip in about 2 weeks

Hi

The things you need to check is if this motherboard uses standard connectors for front pannel connectors for usb, headphone & microphone jack, power & hdd led , on/off push switch?
Does the motherboard use atx standard mounting pillars?

Is case back pannel removable (where usb, network video out, ps/2 keyboard or mouse etc) if not standard atx removable absolutly no go
Picture in user manual not clear enough



If any of these not standard dont use that case

Looking at dell user manual page 106 it looks like the front pannel connector
Looks like 10 pin connector with only 9 pins on motherboard
If this is a number of individual connectors propably ok

If a single plug for front pannel then you will have problems requiring tracing wires and fitting new connectors at the end

This helps a lot ! thanks, i guess i will have to check this stuff out, and if i have some troubles with finding out if it fits, i will just have to wait and see, 3-5 Days and all the parts are delivered. I HOPE it fits cause i can only afford a new case next month and i really can't wait for my new parts to use
