Building a Computer
« on: November 24, 2007, 01:10:48 PM »
So my mom and little sister want a computer for xmas, and I figure it would be alot better to build a computer for them.

I'm researching some options for cases and motherboards, i've found two that i think would work fine, however i'm not 100% sure on their compatibility.
This is the case

And this is the motherboard:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3422351&Sku=MBM-680ILT-925

I'm doubting their compatibility because the "Back panel connectors" on the motherboard don't look like they match up with the holes on the case.

Am I right?

most motherboards today come with their own back panel blank so that the holes will match up correctly.

More than likely, you shouldnt have anythign to worry about.

DO NOT GO CHEAP ON POWER SUPPLY!!!!!!
So many people pay 65 dollars for a lighted up...ah dammit man burned my pizza browsing the forums, anyways for a lighted up case and then 6 months in the cheap power supply blows and everything with it.
