Lee Flier Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hey all, I have a new motherboard whose back I/O panel does not line up with the one in my case. The new mobo comes with its own panel that does match, but I can't figure out how the old one snaps out and the new one snaps in! Can anybody give me a clue? Or if there's an online photo or illustration of it somewhere that would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowly Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It should just push in with a snap that will cut your finger! slowly "Let It Be!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Which mobo did you get Lee? Chances are there might be a picture and instructions on the manufacturer's website. But generally, they do just snap on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Ah yes I just pushed in with a screwdriver handle until it popped out. And you weren't kidding about cutting my finger! Dammit that hurts. The new panel went in pretty easily, it was mainly getting the old one out that I couldn't figure out. Phil, I got an ASUS K8N mobo socket 754 and an Athlon 64. Not bleeding edge or anything, but I don't need that for my purposes and I got a heckuva deal on this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Links to the incredible deals please! Good for you Lee - maybe it's not a socket 939, top end speed demon, but OTOH, that's a VERY fast and capable setup. You should be quite happy with it. Feel free to give me a call if you run into any more assembly issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Oh I just got em from Newegg... they weren't on sale or anything but the mobo is only 85 bucks, nVidia chipset, and I can use my existing IDE drives and AGP video card but I can add SATA drives too. Pretty sweet Well, at least I think so without having actually fired it up yet. It's been very easy to assemble everything though. Dylan recommended this mobo to me and as soon as I saw the specs I knew it was just what I was looking for. I will definitely call you if I have any "issues," thanks for offering! As usual... you da man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 No! You da... nevermind! Sounds great Lee - I'm sure you're gonna dig it. Glad to hear you found a good rig and a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
