Hey guys,
I'm something of a less experienced comp builder putting together a system for college. I planned on using the Antec Super Lan Boy case to hold my comp because the SLB seems light, aesthetically decent, quiet, and cool enough, esp. for the price. I wanted to stick in an Epox EP-8kda3j mobo (with athlon 64 3000+) and cool with a zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu (along with stock case fans), however I have recently read some things about people having trouble getting things to fit inside their Super Lan Boy cases. Do you think these parts will fit into my system, and if it will be a problem, would it be a better choice to go with a case like antec's p160 (although I'd rather not because of the price differential...)?
Also, the weight of the Zalman's is pretty frightening, but it's unlikely that it'd do any damage to the mobo when it's screwed in and I'm moving the system, right?

Thanks a lot.

Install the mobo and HSF BEFORE the rear 120mm fan. It will make your life much easier.
