650554 2008-03-30 06:26:00 Not a random qustion. :) why this board as its the right size to fit into a custom case im building a pc in.

The case.

Will be going flat on the bottom of the case.

The case was a old SCSI cd tower had 7 pioneer cd drives in it has bigger i removed part off top and bottom. project log here. forums.bit-tech.net

The psu i can get easy shops in nz sell the Shuttle XPC 400w PSU.

The front panel plugs i didnt no about till i got the mobo as i was thinking all mobos had the pin header on them and just plugs for each thing as i have never seen anythig like this before.

mite be cheaper to buy a differant board and normal psu with normal power and other buttons.

Only have room for a mobo 212mm wide by 290mm long and has to be a mobo like a shuttle as the plugs have to be on the end of the mobo.

Liked this mobo as its got 4 sata's not like most mobos only having 2 i looked at at the time.

650555 2008-03-30 06:27:00 I wouldnt have a clue, I've never seen it in the shop, only on that site

How would those wires stay in those connectors (J3/J6) on the mobo anyway??

Have they got screws or something, or are they like those release things you see on speakers?

Yeh i have seen the system only online .

The plugs would be male plugs that go into the 2 plugs on the mobo on the mobo the plug has a little noob on it so the front panel plug will have a slot in it little like a hdd ide cable .

The 2 plugs are soldered into the mobo .

650557 2008-03-30 06:37:00 So why are you looking for a case, if youve got one or making one up for the mobo Speedy Gonzales (78)
650558 2008-03-30 06:43:00 was looking ad just using the wires and plugs out of the case if i got one.

or if i can find out what pins are what i will just buy sum pins and make my own plugs to go into the mobo plug. Like solder a pin to the ends of each wire on the power button and press the pins into the holes i need them in.

Thats what i was thinking this motherboard would have like most motherboards do a pin header for the plugs.

like this is the only other way to do it without removing the plug off the mobo and dont want to remove it.

650561 2008-03-30 08:22:00 Yeh thinking that it would be close. mite check right now. I have had a look on net at Jaycar and Farnell in nz and both have pin headers Farnell has 40 pin ones. just got to see it thay are the right size. will check a ide now and get back to you. bluezone (12434)
650562 2008-03-30 08:48:00 Ok just had a look and a ide one is to long by 15mm. A ide plug is 55mm long and 6mm. the pins are like 3mm center to center.

The plug on the mobo is 40mm long br 5mm. the pins are like 2mm center to center
