When buying a Mobo/Hard drive

[imported_LoKe]

Looking around on NCIX, if I ordered a motherboard and a compatible hard drive, will I have to add a cable, or is one included?

It should be included if it's retail. For some reason, I have this thought that it doesn't come included in OEM products.

Sounds about right. An OEM processor doesn't come with a HSF. Thanks. =]

retail yes, oem = not on your life and screw you and no warranty ... well a little one.

Sounds good. Next question; I have a dell 4550 that I'd like to reuse its case, will a standard ATX or mATX mobo be likely to fit, or is Dell just mean that way?
