A: from checking the specs on the board and the case size,, you should be fine,, but make sure you have plenty of cooling,,, its gonna get pretty cramped in there,, measure your inside open area,, and cross reference that with what it says your board dimensions are,,,12 X 9.6" if you have that amount you should be good, just make sure that the position of your cpu/hs fan, and also your memory,, are not in areas where they will hit the bottom of your power supply or one of your cdroms,, if thats all good then you ll be just fine not a lot of extra room!!!!
