Enlight 7237 and ASUS A7V

[Champo41]

Has anyone using this combination actually gotten the PCI slots to line up with the cards alright? I'm talking about putting in a sound card, and forcing it over so I can screw it down.

I was just wondering if it was just me...

It's just you.

You either have the board in there crooked or the backplane is not in the case straight.

 

[Champo41]

Alright, but the backplate lines up perfectly...parallel port and serial ports line up okay.

You're missing something...this a very common combo which causes no problems. The board is huge and I had to slide my drives forward a bit to get the area clear to seat the board. You should have 9 screws attaching the board. Also keep in mind that the PCI slots are slightly offset from the openings in the back intentionally.

I actually had to reseat the ATX backplane on mine but works well now.

I'm looking to get the Enlight (w/ A7V) because of the low price and good rep... what do you guys think??? And the power supply, is it pretty good for some overclocking??? Thanks!

Stytis,

The 7237 is an excellent choice, but the standard 250w watt power supply is not really a good idea on an overclocked Athlon system.

at least 300w

I'm currently using 2 Enlight 7237's and Asus A7Vs. I have had no problems at all getting them lined up.

However, after seeing the Antex SX830's, I'm in love and will be buying 2 or 3 of those in the near future.

Jaraxel... yeah I was comparing the Enlights vs. the Antec SX1030 (same thing almost minus one bay) also. Seems like people really love the Antecs tho... Which I'll prolly get.
