That simple is the question, what about the answer?

Power supply and motherboard mounts are different (assuming you plan on using the blue & white yosemite case).

If you want to build your own, I suggest finding a sawtooth or DA motherboard without processor, appropriate power supply, a nice PC generic ATX case, a pair of tin snips, a dremel, and a few spare hours. Then hit the processor upgrade companies and choose your processor(s).

Have fun.

Simplest answer? No, it won't fit. (In addition to the points Cadaver mentioned, the holes in the back of the case for the ports do not match up.)

Thanks mates,

"Power supply and motherboard mounts are different (assuming you plan on using the blue & white yosemite case)."

Yes, I had in mind to use the Yosemite case.

You are welcome

That was my fear, the motherboard´s ports

Thanks again.
