Im going to convert my boring dell to a l337sauce custom.
Right now i own a dell dimension 4600.

System Specs:
Intel pentium 4 2.8ghz prescott
768 megabytes ddr sdram
1 western digital 80 gig hdd
SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-252S
HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B

Looking to put all that into this case,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144042

My problem lies with buying a new motherboard. Im only going to have 67 bucks left after i buy the case, andi was wondering if someone could link me to an atx compatible motherboard that would work with all my specs. Im looking on newegg right now, but not with much luck.

Thanks.

is your CPU a socket 478? or LGA 775?

i would to help u on your shopping spree but cant do much without the socket type.

The Pentium 4 Prescot is a socket 478, and you might also look at this MSI mobo:
