Alright, here is my final list of items I'll be getting based on the help provided from the previous postings. If there is anything that doesn't look right or maybe needs something better, please let me know. I noticed the computer case has some ports up top like USB, FIREWIRE, and Sata. Will this board allow me to use all of these ports without any problems because it seems so high and the cables would have to be long to reach to the top. Thanks for the help.
