Asus K7V not fitting in Antec KS188!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dejas]

Ok, I have a BIG problem..... I have my ATX Asus K7V and my ATX Antec KS188, however, when I place the mobo on the removable tray and screw the brass mounts in (no problems here... fits perfectly..) I notice that I can not fit any expansion cards (AGP or PCI) in their slots. The case or the mobo extends too far in either direction to allow a card to enter its slot because of the metal face plates on the cards themselves. I dont understand.. the ATX mobo fits in the ATX case using the bracket holes marked ATX fine.. yet.. i cant put any cards in... please advise....

The Bad

The only real complaint we had about this board was the size of the PCB. We would've appreciated something more along the lines of the older K7M's size

hmmmm any other athlon boards that you would recommend?

Hmmm, I'd have to say the other best Slot A board board is the ABIT KA7. If you want ATA100 support, get the ABIT KA7-100. If you have a lot of expansion cards, the 6 PCI slots will be better down the long run. Just personal preference, though. 🙂
