I am searching for a case as well. Yeah, 2 USB ports up front, card reader, and audio jacks.
I have gone ahead and canceled my new order for the case fan, because If I end up buying a entire new case, I will have to get new fans accordingly.
Edit: yeah, only 2 DIMM's for ram. But I was confused regarding that. Even if this motherboard isn't that great, I should still be able to go up to 16 gb shouldn't I? 2x8 ram? I mean, I don't really mind with my 8 gb ram currently, but would like the option to upgrade a bit higher.
