Its a shame you dont want to buy a micro ATX cos the Antec Fusion Case is really nice and is very quiet! set my system up and couldnt believe that the two onboard extraction fans and PSU could make such little noise.

Thanks for the replies. I will look into that case, as it would be considerably cheaper than what I had in mind, and so I could afford to get a mobo.
Any microATX mobo recommendations?
Ideally to be able to take a AMD Athlon XP 2000.
But if I had to another CPU would do.
PCIe*16
PCIe*1
2 PCI slots
dual DDR2 slots
2 Firewire
6 USB 2.0 ports
4 SATA connections
7.1 onboard surround
It supports AM2 processors so would be fine with your Athlon XP 2000. havent tried the onboard graphics as i have a GeForce 7600 card but im told they are fine. bargain at 50 quid if yo ask me.
I have a Silverstone LC17 and Silverstone ST30NF fanless PSU, which work very well for me, and takes a full ATX MoBo - having said that, if mATX is OK, then the Antec Fusion does look very good.
