(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Well I need a little help here, I understand if I don't have the onboard sata ports, than I can't do the firmware hack, even with the pci sata addon card.

What's my best option? and if its a motherboard, could someone let me know the best motherboard I'd need for a Dell Dimension 2400?

Thanks alot for your help, by the way will this motherboard work for my dell pc? Your help would be appreciated.

Look I guess your not following me completely here, yes I have read and yes the chipset on the motherboard Intel ICH5 has been confirmed working, all I wanted to know is, if that motherboard would fit properly in my dell dimension 2400 case...Yes, I could probably figure out on my own, and yes I could have probably called dell or some shit, but I don't want to waste my time if I don't have too, and see if someone with already knew my answer, thanks for your response tho.

Yeah I'm pretty sure others will waste their time in order to facilitate you and help you not waste your precious time.

Your Dimension 2400 is a Micro-ATX case, so you will need a motherboard that will fit accordingly.

I believe a nice motherboard for you would be the Asus P4V8X-MX look for a good price under www.pricewatch.com
It will have onboard SATA ports and will be compatible with your CPU/Memory

However, i'm not sure if its truly compatible with the 360 dvd-drive hack. but this should atleast push you one step closer to what you are looking for.
