Hi,

I just ordered the Thermaltake Tsunami and it looks like the panel for the motherboard at the back of the computer wont fit the P5W DH Deluxe motherboard which I am getting. Does the motherboard I am getting come with a different panel so it will fit on the case?

Thanks

How to Answer Your Own Questions 101:

Now class, bring up a browser on your computer or just click on the link the OP posted, namely:

Now scroll down and find the following component in the mobo's parts list:

"I/O shield"

Next, cut and past the above phrase into the search window on Google.com. The second link found will take you to a site with a photo of an I/O shield. Look at that! Problem solved. It's not that I don't want to help (I just did) but your own link had the answer built in.

Motherboards almost always come with the I/O panel so you shouldn't worry.

I wasn't worried. The OP was and I answered his question. BTW, open box mobos can come without the I/O panel.

Thanks so much, I was unsure of what an I/O Shield was. Now I am reassured.

Every mobo I ever bought came with the IO panel but I think some open box items do not come with the IO sheild... Its not realy needed but ALOT of dust will get to your comp from there :( well a good vacumeing does wonders but be warned alot of people think vacumeing your comp could kill it !!! (Hasnt ever happened to me knock on wood)
