| 805791 | 2009-09-03 10:47:00 | The metal bracket on most cards is slightly bent on the end to allow it to sit more firmly in the case. Yes, there is a hole in the case below the slot cover (you can see them here icrontic.com) in the piece of metal that the motherboard standoffs screw into. If the motherboard is slightly too far to the edge of the case you might get problems putting the cards in. The center of the standoffs should line up with the center of the holes in the motherboard. By the way, do you have the CPU installed yet? just asking since you said in a previous post the order was canceled, and it's much easier putting the CPU into the board and then putting the board into the case, than the other way around |

| 805792 | 2009-09-03 10:53:00 | You may need to bend the tab (slightly) on the video card backplate to get it to line up with the little slot in the case backplane. www.imagef1.net.nz Also I have had problems before with the motherboard not lining up exactly with the case back-plane and have had to shim the motherboard slightly with (small) washers between the standoffs and the mobo screw-holes, so the cards would sit fully in the slots. |

Not yet, now I look like a bigger idiot lol. Ah on that picutre you linked, what's holding it down, is the tab at the top. :thanks |

| 805795 | 2009-09-03 11:09:00 | Have you installed the mobo in the case? No point installing the mobo and everything else in the case, if you didnt put the CPU on the mobo first. It can be one of the hardest things to install | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 805796 | 2009-09-03 11:10:00 | Have you installed the mobo in the case? No point installing the mobo and everything else in the case. without installing the CPU first. Its one of the hardest things to install (if you didnt install it before you put the mobo in the case. Motherboard, only. Just kinda been looking over parts, seeing they fit. I can easily remove the Motherboard I only used one loose screw. |

| 805797 | 2009-09-03 12:16:00 | Installing the video card is like the easiest thing when it comes to assembling a computer. Just slot the card in the slot till it 'clicks' and make sure it fits the case expansion slots | whellington (15030) | ||
