I hope it fits because it came with all the hardware to secure it properly

Awesome! I have one very similar to that, and I love it. Works great.

Well, the case is about 1/2 inch too narrow. Tax return (Fed and State) came in, problem solved.

PSU: Didn't technically need it yet, but strike while the iron is hot.

My P3 upgrade is quickly turning into a whole new build. The case came in and the Power Supply came in. I pulled the motherboard out of the old case, mounted it on the cooler, installed cooler into the case and added the power supply.

The cooler is definitely worth it. I have the processor OC'ed from 1.8 Ghz to 3.0 Ghz and it's running full tilt cooler than my Dell which isn't OC'ed.

Very nice. That's turning into a sweet second rig there, Trigggl! Congrats on the good fortune.

What's even better is, since it's at the wife's desk, she loves it. She can't believe I didn't give her the Dell instead.
