MSI K7N420 Pro Question

[SlickRick]

Hi

Does the MSI K7N420 Pro come with an ATX backplate with
the LAN port opening. ? My case doesn't have one. I have
asked several retailers and have been told yes, no,
I don't know, and it did when first released but not now.

Addtronics will ship me a new backplate for $11........ouch !
So..................did yours come with a backplate ?

Thanks alot ... ... take care ... ... ... Rick

No, it does not come with such a backplate. Why not just use some tools and make your own hole? most backplates have a hole for the two USB ports back there, and the LAN is on top of the USB ports, so it should not be hard task to succeed in.

the MSI board DOES come with a backplate... if it didn't, you're missing parts.

I've bought 3 of these boards by the way... 2 were the 415D w/o video (which has a special backplate too)

I didnt receive the I/O bracket either...where can I get one?!?.........Do I need one for the Antec 660+ case???

I find it pathetic if MSI is shipping boards without the correct backplates! Even the cheapo boards like the K7S5A come with the right plate. I agree that modding one you already have is easy and cost effective compared to paying 11$ for one

Well...I got mine from Half.com...and the person I was talking to said that he got it from Ubid.com. I believe its a OEM part. I didn't get the I/O panel but I did get round IDE cables for free. ..and for $80 I couldnt go wrong..
