chcr said:BTW, Bish, are you sure your case (I'm assuming you bought new) didn't come with more than one backplate? In any case, that's a fairly standard setup for a mATX board and like HomeLAN says, you can always just leave it off.

But the mobo was used, from Cam, right?HomeLAN said:In my experience, the mobo will come with it's own backplate, just to be sure. The case usually just comes with what it comes with. And yeah, it ought to work fine with the case with some post movement and yanking the backplate. May not look beautiful back there, but who cares?
Take a look at pic#2 . to the left of the Orange port overlaps with the card-slots. There's a UBS/Netowrk port that's blocked.HomeLAN said:Dust bunnies are just a fact o' life. Clean 'er out from time to time.
What am I missing? That looks like it fits.
MrBishop said:No the DML
just the DM
Didn't seem to come with a spare plate....wouldn't leaving the back off entirely just invite a whole troupe of dust-bunnies into their new cozy home?
Okey-dokey... I've got the spare plate and the will to make it fit.chcr said:Oh, sorry. No LAN then?
Anyway, you're going to get the dustbunnies regardless. Putting an extra fan in the front of the case to keep positive pressure will help, but I still vacuum mine out once a month or so. Just knock out the existing backplate and move the board up to the top set of posts and you should be good to go. Like HomeLAN says, ugly but it won't affect the board working.
Old board..no book to go with it, or I'd have RTFMed for a while first. I appreciate the help...much obliged!HomeLAN said:Need to learn to read. If the mobo came with one, use it to replace the backplate in the case, and slip it in there. Shoudl fit the top left post, and you can move the others around as needed.
