Noob MOBO Question

[DrChem]

Hi all, I am currently working on my first build and I have come across what looks like a little problem. Forgive my ignorance but, I am currently waiting on my ASUS A8N MOBO and I just looked at the picture again on their website and it doesn't look like the rear plugs match up with my case backplate. I figure there is a simple solution for this. Can I buy various plates? Does the mobo come with a plate? Thanks for any help you may have...

The mobo should come with a new plate. Good luck and have fun!

well it should if you bought a new retail version. if you bought used, or an oem version you may have to buy one. I'd look on ebay.

If you get a refurbished board without the back plate you could ask ASUS and they would probably send you a new one for free.

Excellent, thank you very much. It is a retail board so I feel much better now. I was wondering if I was going to have to get the tin snips out!
