Back Panel/mobo compatibility?

[corvetteguy]

ok, this is probably a noob question, especially for me, but its just never come up before.

anyway, i was looking at the case i'm buying, and the mobo i'm buying, and realized the holes for the jacks in the back of the case arn't the same configuration as on the mobo.... now do more holes pop out, or how does it work?

case back panel

mobo jacks at bottom of page


please tell me if this will work, i'm almost certain it will, but to be sure i'm asking. 8)

my thought about how it could work is that maybe the mobo comes with its own panel to repace the one the case comes with, but thats probably wrong.

When you buy a mobo, the back plate comes with board, you pop old one out of case, insert new one that comes with mobo...

Just be careful around the edges. Sometimes they're really sharp. Never did like the mobo or case in a blood red color.

its funny i've never had that problem... everyone says "don't cut yourself" but i can run my finger quickly down a brand new edge from say a pci slot punched out and not cut it... must be my manly hands... lol 8)
