MSI K7T-Pro2A Won't Fit in My Fong Kai FK-320B

[Steve0]

There's no hole in the template on the back of the FK-320 for the mobo riser with the audio and joystick ports. Should I just cut a hole? Sheesh!

No punch-outs. I think I'm looking at doing my first case mod here...ecch.

i have the same mobo/case as well, mine came fine. the slots for the joystick/audio were punched, just still held in. just grabbed a pencil and pushed the little piece through and out, not a problem at all. where did you get your case? i ordered mine from directron.

 

[Steve0]

I got mine from Directron too...I just checked the case again, and as God is my witness, there's no punch-outs! On the back of the template, also, there is no labeling for any additional ports. Yep, nothing on either side. I'm getting ready to head over to Home Depot for a Dremel tool. Damn.

I think you needed to select "w/onboard audio" from the pull down when you ordered from directron. Call them, they may be able to provide you with the appropriate template for your case.

Thanks for the tip, but the money's spent at Home Depot and the tool has been used. I modded the case myself, exposing holes for the joystick port and the three audio ports. Hated every minute of it. But it came out okay.

Once I got the motherboard in and everything connected and turned it on, she booted up right away. Detected everything immediately--only needed one soft reset. Considering I have an ATI AIW Radeon and a Creative SB Live, two cards which a lot of people seem to be having problems with on this motherboard, I guess I am lucky.
