I went to a local store to build a computer, and I even had a salesperson help me out so I wouldn't make a stupid mistake. Well, we (or perhaps he) made one: the motherboard's ports in the back (USB, networking, audio, etc.) do not line up with the holes in the case. It's not that I can move them over and it'll be fine; they're actually arranged in a completely different manner. I was wondering if anyone's used the CHAINTECH MK8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard because it looks as if that's the only one that will fit the specific holes in the back of the case with everything else I need. I know it's cheap, but I really can't find anything else, and I can't get to the customer reviews at Newegg. http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813152048 is the link to the Chaintech mobo. The one I have is the http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0177857 (K8M800 mATX Socket 754 Motherboard). The case is the Antec Aria Cube mATX http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=171687. Any help is appreciated.
 
The motherboard box should of came with a metal backplate that you use to replace what is already there.

That's what I thought, but mine did not come with one. :( I'll go back and open up a new box and check for a plate. What can I do if none of this particular model comes with a plate?
 
Remove the plate thats on the case now and leave it off. Then install the motherboard. Yea, it wont look pretty but at least its in the back. By doing this your going to allow more dust to enter the machine so i would buy a can of air and blow it out once a week.
