I'm about to order my comp.

I need to know about the An8 Fatal1ty mobo and my case...b/c the mobo appears to have 2 fans attached to it and my case doesn't have space for that...

anybody know what I should do? I already have the case.

the mobo is here

Hi Pollux, I wasnt sure what you were asking until I took a look at the pictures of the motherboard.

What it appears they have done is added 2 fans to the backing plate location on the mobo and compressed all the other various inputs so that they will all fit into a standard backing plate format.

You should be fine with the case your ordering, the blanking plate on the case is removable and can be replaced with the custom blanking plate that will come with the motherboard. Pretty much any motherboard comes with a blanking plate with all the cutouts in place for all the various ports and interfaces that the manufacturer has put on the motherboard.

Hopefully this helps.
