...post a picture of the I/O plate on the back? I dont know if i'm retarded or what, but one of the little metal tabs that stick out in the back around the openings isnt letting me fit mine on correctly. Are you supposed to pull any of the tabs out/off?

Crap, I'm at work right now so I cant look right now. If you were looking at the front of the plate, so where the long sides were on the top and bottom, I *believe* its the opening on the far left.

Just bend them back...break them off, ect. An I/O plate isn't going to affect your sytem.

The tabs on the back were designed to sit on top of the connector to maintain ground continuity when you plug into it. I'll saypull them back to clear them and then release them as soon as you get the mobo situated.

Thanks guys....I got this sorted out soon after I posted this...there was one tab I finally just pulled off to get the mobo in place right, other than that, no problems.
