The outputs/inputs don't lineup at all for the PS2, USB, 1394 etc. for the system board against the case. It appears like I would have to drill out a couple of the holes by hand....

OK what's the deal??? Is there a trick???? (hopefully)

The motherboard should come with a custom I/O panel that fits its jack layout. See, you're not losing your mind after all! 🙂 Check this page for some insight on what you need to do here.
 
I have had your pages up the whole time. GREAT FAQ....

OK let me try and reword.....You are correct there is a customized panel that came with the board and this is great....*but* what about the hard metal of the case that does not match the system board??? Do I push out the *entire* thick metal plate???

Thanks

The Sonata uses the spring-edged type of I/O shield, so yeah, push the whole rectangle out of its hole, and be careful not to cut yourself in the process. Then pop the new one in, and you'll be about due for a snack break 😀
 
Thanks Mech trying that now.....

How about a beer break??? OOOpppsss I have had several already ;-))

LOL, make sure to pace yourself now... 😉
 
Yeah I just built my first computer today with the Sonata (well almost done, we're POSTing, working on SATA recognition right now). I admit it took me a bit to figure out the I/O shield, you do have to push pretty darn hard, and from the outside in.
 
you guys are too weak 🙂
one swift blow with the butt of a screwdriver will knock it right out...
to be honest i don't ever remember bending one doing that (the antec ones are pretty sturdy)
and even if i did who cares i haven't gotten a mobo in a really really long time that didn't come w/ one...
