    You need an ATX case with a power supply compliant to the motherboard requirements... these power supplies weren't around in '95.

    Just get a new case. I like Enermax cases mostly because their power supplies are really nice/reliable... and the case itself is peachy. Don't skimp on your powersupply... el cheapo's sometimes are unreliable... and you don't want your stuff get taken out along with it... if there's a problem.

                Cheap Parts = www.pricewatch.com
                I always check prices here before making any purchases! The amount you save can be substantial.

                How to build = www.amd.com
                Somewhere on their site they have a nice step-by-step guide to building a system, complete with pictures. About 50 pages if I recall correctly...
