      Well, my present tower is 16.5" high x 7" wide x 18" long, so I 
'think' I could fit something new in it - not sure what a 'full' tower is 
without checking, but with what you want Gail compared to my min spec board, 
you may have to choose wisely with this one. It might be a good idea to 
email said board merchants to get their opinion?

     And yes, I know what you mean by 'tearing your hands'. My first tower 
was a tiny thing, (still got it sat next to me doing nothing), and when I 
tried to put a new HD in it, I couldn't help scraping my hands! Back then I 
wished that they built bigger towers, and now they're here.  :)
