Well .. Question is not from physical point of view, because that's obviously possible .. afterall, it's just a mATX mobo in mATX case ..
The question is about the customized case lighting .. Alienware have this AlienFX feature where the case interacts with you .. so if I play battlefield 3 .. the case lights go white .. if i'm hit, they go pink, if i die, they go red.
Such lovely feature is achieved by a daughter baord which plugs in the main board via USB 2.0 header.
Also, i believe it's responsible for active venting where case vents open and/or close depending on how hot is the CPU.
So back to the question:
If I repalce my aging X58 Motherboard (Running i7 930 @ 3.5 GHz) with a commercial board like ASUS Gene VI, will i get those nice features by just connecting the daughter baord to the new board to the new Motherboard's USB 2.0 Header.
