Building my first box need a little help!

[Matthew]

hi, thought i'd make this thread to check im not making any mistakes before i go spending money..

i have an old pc with a core 2 duo 1.83ghz, 1gb ram, 200gb sata hard drive in a large black tower case.

im aiming to make a compact storage box so i bought this case:


EV Black MATX Cube Case
*2 external 5.25 bays
*1 external 3.5 bay
*1 internal 3.5 bay
*micro atx mobos

and i want it to house one of those 2 5.25 to 3 hot swap sata bays so..

as i understand it ill need to buy a micro atx mobo that supports my processor, hot swap sata and anything i cant think of?

anyone recommend a mobo?

is my processor a socket 775 (or are there other type of core 2 duo how'd you tell)?

is there anything i should now about psu's (will moving the one from the tower be ok)?

anything else i should be asking?

thanks for any help!

*edit* woops sorry bout the img
