Help!! PC ACRYLIC Blue Case!

[FaDeD]

Hello, I just bought and assembled a Acrylic TB Case and I just put everything in it but I rang into the following problem,

I try to put the AGP and PCI card in and the Face Plate on the Cards hit the back of the case not allowing any room for it to sit. Can someone tell me whats wrong? Help required asap. Thx

cut it off.

Cut what off? The tong of the PCI/AGP plate? Like I think their must be a alternate route, why would they make a Case that basically makes you distroy your cards?

Are there really no slots on the motherboard tray/side panel for the lip of a pci/agp card to go into? Maybe your motherboard is slid slightly back too far...

Well my motherboard is on Standoffs so it cannot be too far back but I had figured out that I had tightened the back panel of the Acrylic case too tight and that basically pulled the Mobo to the end so their was no space. Once I figured this out I had extra space as I was adding the card and retightened it.

Quick question thoe, the lip of the PCI/AGP cards (Face Plate), if this touches the Mobo, will it cause a Short? Or will it be fine since theirs no Live power running through it? I think it'll be fine but need someone elses opinion also.

Thanks

It should be fine. There are no traces on the edge of the mb where it could touch.
