Some of the OEM cases and motherboards have a different screw pattern that a normal board. Am not real familiar with the
E-Machine cases but it is something to be aware of.

Too small!!

Get a case with at least 2 x 120mm fans (1 front and 1 back).

You can't beat a good old-fashioned Desk-Top case for good ventilation and easy, instant, access...

I ALWAYS use them in each build... :)...!

Fozzers bit of desk-top kit.... ;)...>>>

Note: With this arrangement all the heat rises upwards, and AWAY from each individual component....The heat doesn't accumulate upwards, like it does in Tower Cases!!

...you know it makes sense... ;)...LOL... ;D...!

Paul...a bit of a nut desktop case... 8-)...!

The lid has been removed for this photo, but normally kept on to ensure correct airflow through the case...front to back... ;)...!

Or you can grab this one and have everything mounted upsidedown, install the provided airduct that goes from front intake to rear over the cpu.(I don't have it installed because my heatsink is to big).
