So do I.  It is what you make of it, use a good chassis and peripherals
and you'll be really happy with it, but use really cheap stuff and you can
get frustrated fast.

It should work with any ATX-2.1 compliant case (note that most cheap PC
cases aren't).  It works great with my $80 full-tower case, don't remember
the brand.  Cooling is my biggest problem, I've had to mount a 4.5" fan
right over the CPU module to move enough air (and am contemplating a
shroud that reaches close to the board).
