Have you guys figured out a way to have the 6 channel audio board installed and keep the 120mm fan in the back of the case? The board is about 1/16th of an inch to tall and I can't get it in the case with the fan there. My only temporary solution is to remove the rear fan, install the motherboard, and hope someone knows how. I might even shave away 1/16th of an inch off the fan with a dremel and put it back in there.

yeh, file down the fan, or if you're really lazy and enjoy an increased risk, set the edge of the fan on fire. It'll melt and shrink away from there, and make a nice smooth edge too, then just blow it out. I used that method to expand the air inlet on the underside of my front panel :D

If you install the fan and mobo first and slide the audio thing on the mobo it will fit.

It worked perfect on my Nf4 Ultra-D

Installed MB w/audio already connected first, then put fan in. No probs here.

I shaved a little material little off the audio board. But like others said, i don't think it's necessary after I've done it.
