Help
Sorry I'm late to the party again.
If you look at the last picture of the motherboard, you'll see that it comes with a new backplate to replace the one that comes with the case. That mboard looks like it will fit easily into the case, even if some of it is behind the drive cages. In fact, the case looks to be quite large - note the dual 80mm fans above the PCI knockouts.

Will anyone suggest an ATI DX10 card? I Dualed on the ATI Radeon X1300 Pro. But Is that a good idea?

Yes it is Herk. I saw that AFTER I posted, but hey. It has 5 total fans in it. Not counting the one on the GFX Card.

I am partial to Nvida cards myself The one you chose is a great card, If your goal is to upgrade to dual cards and keep your current motheboard choice an X1950 or X1900 would be great choices.
Those are ATI cards

Make sure you buy these from a reputable seller. Some manufacturers just throw together video cards, while companies like MSI and EVGA really put time into their cards. There are other good sellers in ATI, but sorry I'm familiar with nVidia. Just make sure that the card (and manufacturer) has good reviews, high clock speeds compared to others of the same model, and has a stock heatsink/fan unless you will put on your own aftermarket.
