I've had good luck with MSI slim case machines over the years.
I have the Mega 865 (same basic MOBO) as my master FE/BE
and an earlier MSI Celeron as a slave back end and both are reliable.

Its good you got the 150 card because the 350 does not fit
in the MSI cases unless you rip the Floppy out (Floppy,,,bah humbug)
and move the HD over there. The 150 fits fine.

I would ask what you plan to do with the gforce MX 4000, which
as I understand it is an AGP card, but this machine lacks an
AGP slot (either that or the specs are incomplete).
For driving any normal monitor the on-board video is more than
satisfactory, so take that vid card back and get a faster processor.

Who knows, probably some engineers pipe dream.
