1a- DVI will look better.

1b - This should work.

1c - What kind of plug is this "Audio Power" jack?

2a - I assume you mean male Molex jacks. You could run those fans off of them assuming your fans run off 5 or 12 volts. You'd have to make an adapter or something though.

2b - That just means the controller itself can control 5 fans. It doesn't mean your case can hold them.

3a - I don't know much about video so someone else can answer that.

3b - Do they make DDR2 in 4gb sticks? I thought only DDR3 was. In that case, I'm sure you can't mix them

3c - That's just the types of RAM it supports

3d - The system fan port is for a fan other than the CPU fan basically. I'm not sure about the SPDIF. I believe the "UV" on the cases page is a misspelling. I'm guessing you mean the volume gauge which says on the picture "VU" I'm not sure how it hooks up.

1c - Did your monitor come with a pair of speakers? It sounds like that jack might just be to power them.

3c - NVIDIA has nothing to do with the RAM. They just make the chipset.

3d - Ok, that makes sense. I didn't see that fan mentioned anywhere on the case's page. I'm not sure how those work. I'm guessing you'd just have to plug it in to the fan port on the motherboard or controller.

What is your Operating System? 32-bit OSes cannot support 4GB of system RAM.

According to this link: http://support.gatew...ors/8511263.pdf Those ports are used for the Gateway Speaker Bar.
