You will have to buy a micro ATX mobo for this case.

But if you want some thing for on top of your desk check this one out.

You said the "D" word...

Also I'm thinking maybe you want to take this PC to a lan party? May want to put a handle on it.

I like that case. However, before buying I would ensure it takes a standard power supply seeing how it is only 220W.

That would definately need upgrading, unless you are sticking with a 1.2Ghz P3 with 512MB PC133 and a Geforce2 video card (been there, done that).

Oh, also I have the FX 5200. It doesn't perform that well. You may want to just go with the 5900, performs way better and only costs a little more, Walmart has them for about $120-140. The 5200 retails for about $100. Prices may be cheaper depending on where you buy it. Oh, and make sure you get the "OC" version of the 5900, which means "overclocked".
