[H-GEN] A problem...

Hi all.  I've made a little boo boo and wanted sage advice...couldn't find
any so I can here instead ;)

Seriously though, here is my problem.

I have ordered a FIC pa2012 board which has an ATX form factor.

I just purchased a nice new AT case.

Apparently the 2 don't fit together too well.

I want a m/b with sdram as I own 1x64 DIMM of it (and it is superior,etc)

I don't want to sell the current case, or buy an ATX case as they are
expensive apparently (yell if u know a src of ATX cases <$100).

So do I,

a)  Return the pa2012 and go for an inferior TX based m/b (TX can only
    cache 64Mb afaiK). [HX based boards don't support sdram].

b) Fork out for a new ATX case (maybe costing _big_ bucks).

c) Wait for the va-503+ (God knows when it will arrive in Aus).

d) Something I haven't considered.

Any (clean) suggestions gratefully accepted. :)
Cheers,
	-Robert (grateful for any help).
