Motherboard & Case Question
Well, I'm planning to build a computer and I have a question about my chosen Motherboard and Case. Both are the ATX format and both are supposed to be compatible, but when I look at the back panels (where the LAN and all that are plugged in) they appear to not be compatible with one another. Can anyone offer any info please? Thanks in return.

You have to use the back plate that came with your motherboard. The one on the case should snap off pretty easily, and you just need to snap in the one that came with your motherboard.

List links to your mobo and case.
If both are ATX chances are they will fit. |

The motherboard will come with its own I/O shield that you will put in the case so everything will match.
