I have a nice Extended ATX case, any good E-ATX P35 mobos for gaming?

[consolejoker]

So I still have a wicked nice Lian Li PC V1200 extended ATX case, which currently houses my Tyan Thunderbird K8WE mobo and system.

I am ready to go P35 here but would like to retain the nice case. Does anyone know if its possible to put a regular ATX board in there, and if the PC V1200 case is decent for thermals and overclocking by today's standards?

I also believe I have a 600 watt power supply. I don't plan on SLI since its a P35, but I will want to OC the QX6600 and a 8800GTX Ultra. Will this be enough?

The P35 is not a server chipset. Why would you see any E-ATX versions of that motherboard?

Why use a E-ATX mobo if you don't need to? An ATX mobo will fit just as fine, and leave more room for ventilation / air flow. Or mount some water cooling hardware in the extra space.

It's fully compatible with ATX boards. I'm using a 965P-S3 in my v1200 as we speak.

* Do you actually have a 600W PS?
* What brand/model is it?
* How old is it?

Enermax, 650 watt, not sure on the exact model, this is from memory.
