Problem fitting MSI K7T PRO2-A in Enlight 7237?

[ctucker]

I just got a K7T PRO2-A and an Enlight 7237. I attached the motherboard to the motherboard tray and the screwholes lined up and everything was fine. I try to put the motherboard tray back into the case, but the I/O shield isn't lined up with the ports on the motherboard. Any suggestions? Common problem with this case?

Thanks.

I put together a MSI K7T Pro2 for a friend in this case, I had to force the mobo into the I/O. I placed the mobo into the case without the I/O shield. Then carefully forced the mobo's ports into the I/O shield. For my shield, I only had to apply a small force to the ports to fit them in. Namely the parallel and com ports. Everything else fit just fine.

I don't know if this method is advised, but it worked for me.

Ok, thanks. Didn't know if I was doing something totally stupid. I pulled out some wire cutters and mangled the I/O shield until it fit. Now it looks like the PCI cards won't fit in perfectly, but they'll be alright.

Thanks.

The PCI/AGP slots on the mobo and the case never actually match up. Never use that as a guide when putting in a mobo. PCI/AGP cards are made so that the card fits in the slot and that slot piece fits in the case hole. Weird, but true.

I hate the little springy things on all the peripheral slots and the I/O shield. Other than that no problems at all getting it to fit for me.

I installed my MSI K7T PRO2-A in my Enlight 7237 case without a problem!
