Setting up the A7V266-E ?

[gross]

Dear friends,
I have just got a Asus A7V266-E and Athlon XP 1800.
I haven´t set it up yet and would like to ask some questions:
- Should I get a big case or some especial case for it (I have a mini ATX case already) ?
- I got a Ascent CPU Heatsink and cooler. Is it enough if I don´t overclock the system ?
- Is there any easy overlock I can do without worries ?
- Should I left everthing under the Free Jumper mode ?
- Do you have any recommendations before setting it up ?
Thanks for the help.

If you're going to OC it I would get a bigger case with better airflow. Don't know about the CPU fan. Just check the temp at a normal, and see how low it is. It needs to be very low. As for jumperfree mode, you'll need to keep the FSB in jumperfree mode since it's the same as 133FSB. You can do the same with the multiplier, and just change it from the BIOS, but that's your choice. It should be easy to overclock an unlocked CPU. It has the FSB in 1MHz increaments that should make it easy to easy your way into a stable setting.
