I bought the Foxconn Motherboard and CPU but?

[irishz]

I did buy the bundled combo Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS Socket 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
I also bought this case Eagle Tech ET-CASW2-WOP-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case.
The motherboard really is small alright, so now I'm wondering if I should buy a small case for it or use the case above? I also bought the D925XBC -- Intel D925XBC Socket 775 mATX MB w/Gigabit Lan, because I figured since I'm still learning it wouldn't hurt to have both, since the price seemed pretty good, but I still need to buy the cpu for the last board, graphics card, etc.

If you bought that case before 5/27/07 it is free:

My thoughts are a case should fit the the MB, or vice versa, whatever. Having a huge expanse of air under the board won't hurt, but it could look silly with a full-size case window, which luckily this case lacks.

That said, a case is just a vessel for your goodies, as long as it passes ample air properly over the proper components and exhausts it there really is only your aesthetic sense that matters.

Yes I did Thank you so much!! Geeks had it for $40 that included the power supply unit, which I'll still need to buy.
