Yeah that's fine. Dunno if that case is ATX or BTX, but it works for either so you should be safe.

As I mentioned, though, because Linux is so much more efficient than Windows I can still play modern game titles at high resolution and with post processing effects.

Please don't turn this thread into a Linux vs. Windows pissing match. The only game that's remotely "modern" in the pc gaming area that you mentioned is BioShock, (There's also Prey!) but for anyone who enjoys playing PC games when they come out, Linux is not a viable option. (Although it IS a very good operating system. :P) Even with using Wine there's only so far you can get, and Linux's gaming efficiency drops because of the emulation.
