I would go the bit extra for an ATX case and purchase ATX components.  And,
I'm sorry, but I must caution anyone considering any purchases from
TigerDirect; they have only one thing going for them - low prices.  Based on
my past experiences with this company, their service is poor, their return
policy is almost non-existent, they will attempt to "slam" your phone
service with trick offers and they will distribute your e-mail address to
spammers.  Let the buyer beware.

cost more to upgrade than it would be to build a new system--- altho you
could upgrade the RAM which is selling at reasonable prices.
