| 1133625 | 2010-09-01 05:39:00 | I'm trying to install the motherboard (pictured) into the case (pictured) however the motherboard is already mounted onto a metal plate. I have removed the only screw holding it to the plate but won't come free. Any ideas? BTW photo 3 is underside of motherboard (metal plate). |

| 1133628 | 2010-09-01 06:22:00 | Looks like it has a daughter board that connects on the side with PCI risers? At any rate, you have obviously missed a screw, or the stand offs have stuck at each end, will it not pry apart? |

| 1133629 | 2010-09-01 06:24:00 | www.the620guy.com This is a better picture. Note: zoom in on the bottom right hand corner of the motherboard and there is a clip labeled (GNDCLP1) which has a piece of metal from the bottom plate sticking up into the middle of it. |

| 1133631 | 2010-09-01 06:34:00 | Maybe the mobo is designed for a specific case? Did a google search for pics and some showed the mobo without the metal base. Case specific or not you should still be able to remove the plate. |

| 1133632 | 2010-09-01 06:35:00 | It looks like it might slide off sideways | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 1133633 | 2010-09-01 06:37:00 | Thats what I thought (see pic below for metal clips that overlap on the side) but it doesn't want to. | icow (15313) | ||
