Just getting started, have a question

[wheeler]

You quys have a great forum and web site, and I ordered Rob's book today. As you will see this is my first time build. I am using most of the parts in Robs list with a few changes. I would like to use Intels motherboard #BOXD975XBX2KR with the Antec Sonata III case that you guys suggest. Will that combo work OK? One thing I have always questioned is will any motherboard fit any case as long as you stay with the ATX form?

Thanks and welcome! Yes, that motherboard and computer case should work together just fine since they are both ATX form factors. And yes, any ATX form factor motherboard should fit and work just fine with an ATX compatible computer case.

Feel free to follow-up with any questions you have along the way!

Thanks Rob, that sure was a quite reply. I'm looking forward to this first time build, may need some more help later. Thanks.......
