I built my computer a couple years ago, and I remembered that all the slots on the back of my mobo perfectly matched the slots cut out for my case... so now that I'm planning on building a new computer I'm assuming that I'm going to have to get a new case?

Here's what I'm looking at for purchasing/have already purchased:
epox 8kha+
Athlon XP 1500+
512 mb DDR2100
VisonTek GeForce3 Ti200

the rest will be pretty old stuff...

I'm looking for a decent case, I'm not into OCing because i'm a wuss. I bought my last case from a local store because it was cheap and didn't want to worry about shipping, but since I'm probably going to buy all my stuff from newegg this time, I figured I'd ask around to see what a good case would be.

I'm looking for a mid-size case that would be sold at NewEgg.com, Any suggestions? Not just the case i guess, but in general.

Antec SX840 or SX1040 are nice cases comes with a good Antec 400w PSU,btw I`ve that board(Epox) and the Taisol CGK760092 fits on it well(using one at the moment) ram wise go with Crucial :).

but the main question is, do I HAVE to buy a new case? Can I use my case from 1999?

With that said, what about cooling? what do I need if I don't really plan on OCing?

If it`s an ATX case you can use that with no problem :),but you will still need a good AMD approved PSU for your XP 1500+ cpu,you don`t say what case you have and what PSU,what board did you have in the case?
