Could someone kindly confirm that this case is fine for the motherboard I have selected?

Also if I do not get the memory card reader, pcs checker does not allow me to select that for that motherboard anyway, then the front panel of 2 usb's and the e-satav connection will all work fine?

Also the memory at 1600 which I would like for this board, will there be any problems with the kingston brand?

HAF 932 is better than the antec 902 :)

While the HAF-932 does have slightly better cooling it's not strictly better as it lacks a dust filter on the 230mm intake fan which results in dust coming into the case, a problem that the 902 doesn't have. It also weighs 1.7kg more than the 902 which makes moving it more difficult.

Not wanting to barge in on my own thread, with regard dust filters:), but can anyone answer my initial questions regarding my concerns with my spec. Thanks:)

Yes ill step in on this one :)

So the RAM is fine, itll work so dw. I had Corsair in here on purchase in my asus r3 but that had to be rmad due to slight compatibility issues with the board.

Next esata is gonna work.

Next, if u chose a 52in1 card reader you will NOT have any working frontal usbs as they wont b plugged in. This is due to the board only having one internal usb header rather than the 2 found on the p6tx58 boards. This is easy to fix tho with an nzxt adapter bought from the link below:
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_3418.html

the pcs specer WILL allow u to select 52in1 reader IF you deselect the usb option - 6 usb min 2 front usb.

Hope all tht helps.

Thanks very much, great reply:)

I think I may lose the card reader, I have one on my printer, so will use that. Load camera pics into pc via printer. Will continue doing that. Camera will also connect via usb so I have that as an option.

New camcorder will link directly to front usb port to import hd movies just by copying them across, old camcorder needed a firewire and patience!!!!

The case will just about fit on my office desk space, most of them are too long! However the 902 will just fit.:)

Just to confirm the Rampage III Extreme has one internal USB header, and will allow you to connect a maximum of two front USB ports/devices.
