Antec Super LanBoy

you will have to add a PSU.

Since you are adding a seperate GPU, better stick with a good 965 based ATX size mobo rather than mATX. The components are normally cramped and air circulation is a problem in a mATX board. Also you will get more PCI slots to add maybe a TV Tuner and something else in future without the cards being too close to the GPU.
 
woa .. 5.8k 0_0 damn that xpensive! ... + ill have to add a PSU.. ne other options?... hmm yea ur right abt the cooling...mATX + small case can heat up things... i wanted to fit a intake fan from top or front ; back exhaust fan ; and preferably one from the sides... i guess that wud provide enough cooling for the card (7600gt) ... conroe wont heat up that much.... abt overclocking conroe.. i guess stock speeds will do me fine for now .. esp with 7600gt onboard... once i get my next card (hopefully the next midrange dx 10 ) i might overclock E6300
 
if u wanna carry your machine for LAN parties and competitions.. save up for a few weeks/months.. SLB *is* the way to go.

and come to think of it, as you said u wanna mod ur case, buying an el cheapo case and modding it (considering u buy 3 more system fans like u intend to, that too ones with high CFM ..) end result ull be saving yourself money and the hassle of modding by getting an SLB, since its got a pretty good cooling solution without adding any mods anyways.
