I purchased a Beamer ATX Middle Tower Case P4 compatible, then a few days later an Intel Motherboard D850MD. Unfortunately the motherboard doesn't fit into the case. the motherboard also has 4 USB ports whereas the case only has two apertures for USB. What motherboard should I buy to fit into my case?. Looking at the documents the D850MV also has 4 USB. Ports.

Thanks Gaming Boy but I want a tower. I already have a desktop running Win 95 and a mini tower running Win 98,
What I am after now is a midi tower running Win XP
Cheers Bill
