<div class="IPBDescription">Looked for three hours...</div>Basically, I'm trying to find a tower case that'll fit this motherboard: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131013" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131013</a>

I've looked for a long time, and there are just none that could. The back of the case and almost EVERY type of mobo made by ASUS seem to use some weird different I/O layouts.


Can anyone help?

    umm, I am sorta lost.

    it is an ATX mobo.

    The PSI/AGP slots look normal, it comes with a standard I/O shield.

    The I/O shield on most cases pops out and you just pop the I/O shield that came with the mobo in.

    though I will toss this in:

    Do you really think you will be upgrading to SLI/cross fire?

    if not you can save a chunk of change by getting only one PCI-E slot, and getting a PSU that only supports one PCI-E card.

    Yeah, it seems like it's just a normal motherboard. What cases, exactly, have you disqualified, and why?

    I/O plates are interchangeable.

    As long as it's the same form factour, you just change the plate as the others have said. (comes with the mobo)

    Well, the whole reason for getting this mobo is because it's combo'd with a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6ghz and I'm trying to save money. But, I suppose I'll shop around some more tonight...



    Blegh, trying to find a mobo and processor are the worst parts of building.

    I wouldn't go with AMD, but whatever; I still don't understand why the mobo you want doesn't work with any cases.

    Depends if their Quad Cores work with current motherboards or not.
