Does this mother board have intergraded sound and video? (I’m almost sure on the sound; video not so much)
Is that yellow toped port a yellow Audio Video cable receiver port?

Can I knock out the Rear I/O Panel? (I think I see some screws there)
Chip: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115014
64 bit Support means it can handle this RAM(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220231). I read some reviews that where singing the praise of this component called micron 9 should I really look for RAM with this stuff in it?

Will all the components I have listed all fit together? If I need it what should I look for in a video card? (Light gaming more internet machine) A video card would have a monitor port in it, and if I want I can get one with an S-video port in it? Do you guys have another recommendation for a mother board?

The motherboard you mentioned DOES have onboard sound, but no onboard video. I have no idea about the yellow thing. For the case, I think you should probably be able to knock the back panel out, the panel is usually removable; because motherboards generally come with their own panel. The makers of the case know that their back panel style isn’t universal, but still include one for some reason. It won’t use screws though, just pop it out with some pressure. Also, from what I saw, the parts you listed should all work well with each other. Get a video card with around 128MB of ONBOARD memory or more. I’m using a GeForce 6500 and can play Far Cry with no noticeable frame drop. Regarding the S-video port, do whatever feels right to you! Next, $150 for a motherboard is a lot to me, but the motherboard you choose seems to be pretty good. However, what type of RAM are you going to get? That affects the type of motherboard you need. Or you could first choose a motherboard, then choose the RAM. Good luck!!

Ooooooookay,let’s see here:
1.Nice board! FSB 1066/800MHz, so yes the cpu Core 2 Duo E440 FSB,(800MHz), will match up, and it plainly states this mobo supports Core 2 Duo.
2. Onboard Audio,(sound), Realtek RTL8211BL
3. Onboard video-none,(try a nVidia graphics card with 256MB’s, I just think an nVidia graphics adapter card will match up better with the nVidia nForce 650SLI Northbridge & nVidia nForce 430i Southbridge chipset.
4.The rear I/O shield is a thin piece of aluminum,(steel?), plate that pops out with the right technique, the mobo comes with it’s own.(The screws you saw are for actually mounting the mobo in the case. Slides in the case like a drawer.
5.I assume on this page you’re refering to the Patriot 512MB DDR2 800MHz-PSD251280081? Yes, it matches the cpu’s FSB, and since this mobo supports dual channel you need two sticks to get dual channel capability,(they bounce info back, and forth to each other[simple explanation]
6.Nice case! Daddy likes! Side USB ports!
7. Western Digital is the way to go! They have software that comes with them to help protect/enhance their harddrives!, and this one is fast!
8.Okay I can see it, LG DVD-R/RW, good investment!
