and if it helps any my motherboard is a gigabyte ep45-ud3p. and also are my pci slots supposed to be a little off centerd with the expansion slots, like a little higher. and one more thing. My xion onyx case has bumps in it where the motherboard goes. are these built in risers? Because i added risers to these bumps but now the motherboard doesnt match up with the I/O panel.
thanksWill an EVGA Geforce 9800 GTX+ fit into a xion onyx ATX case?
Read your case manual and find out whether or not you are supposed to be using standoffs. Most cases do need standoffs, some do not.
And yes, the 9800GTX+ will fit on your motherboard, and should fit in the case if the motherboard is properly mounted.
However, why use an nVidia video card when you have an ATI Crossfire motherboard?
If you use an ATI Video card, you will have the future option of adding a second card to run in Crossfire mode. You cannot run two nVidia video cards in SLI on a Crossfire motherboard.

Will all my computer components fit inside the Antec NSK248 micro ATX case?
I am looking to get a smaller case and I love how simple this one is. Now before i purchase it, i need to know if all my components will fit. First off i have a micro ATX mobo so that clears. I have an nVidia 8800 GT and a Corsair 750TX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as鈥?/a> Those are the only problems i will be facing and also can i change out the stock PSU?

Yes it will fit. Personally I wouldn't recommend this case because of how small it is. I realize that is why you want to purchase it but smallness isn't always best. Your computer will be hotter. Depending on what you are running, this may be a horrific case. Keep in mind that is may overheat. I wouldn't worry about it if you are just doing basic programs. Also, I'm not sure if you have an after stock heatsink for your cpu, but some afterstock heatsinks may not fit. I know mine is very tall and may not fit in that case.Will all my computer components fit inside the Antec NSK248 micro ATX case?
It'll fit, but will be tight.

I have an HP A1540n Motherboard transplanted into a new ATX case, I need to know the audio pinouts?
My son has an HP A1540N Desktop, I upgraded him to Windows 7 but he needed a new case and power supply as the old one wasn't compatible. I transplanted everything except the front audio and microphone jacks. I searched HP and the Internet looking for the motherboard pinouts and settings. The ATX case has like separate pin jacks while the A1540N case had all pins in one plug. Which separate pins go where in the motherboard? I don't want to make the wrong connection and short out the audio system. Any help?I have an HP A1540n Motherboard transplanted into a new ATX case, I need to know the audio pinouts?
Well I would show you some pictures of where the pins should go, but the easy way is to compare the pinouts to the pins. Basically the audio pinouts would only fit in one type of pin. Look at your pinout and see how the holes in it arrange. Now look at some of the pins located on the motherboard with the same arrangement as your pinout has. If it fits, then its good.I have an HP A1540n Motherboard transplanted into a new ATX case, I need to know the audio pinouts?
Looking at the the connector of the old case follow the color codes of the wiring to determine how to connect the new front panel.
Note there will be a small arrow to designate pin1 on the connector and a marking to indicate pin1 on the motherboard
You are right the HP manuals provided are worthless.
Good Luck

Gigaybyte Motherboard, G31, E7400, 4GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB HDD and ATX Case Deal questions?
I'm planning to purchase new PC I did some shoping in jordan and I have some questions, please respond even if you don't have answers to all the questions, thank you for taking the time,
First of all, Here is the parts I am considering to buy:
1. E7400 Intel Core2 Duo Processor
2. Gigabyte Motherboard G31 Intel Chipset
3. 4GB DDR2 667
4. ATX P4 Case
The above will cost me around 387$, I Intend to use on-board graphics and sound and ethernet, since I don't need high-end 3D performance as I don't play Games.
Secondly, this is what I Intend to do with my computer:
1. Play movies and audo
2. Video editing
3. Video encoding
4. Office or other productivity
5. Multi-task a lot, like listening to music, while downloading files or burning or encoding at the same time.
My questions are the following:
1. Will I be able to play 720p and 1080p video efficiantly?
2. Do you think 387$ is a lot to pay for these parts?
3. If i down-grade the processor to E5200, I will save 49$ do you think that is a good or bad cost saving considering what performance I will loose and the things I want to use my computer for? I can't find any performance charts comparing the E5200 to E7400 so I don't know how much performance I am going to loose with the E5200 if you have some reviews with performance tests please give me a link.
4. I need some price comparasions between E7400, E6850 and E8000 series
5. I read on intel's site, that G31 supports HDMI output, but when I asked my vendor who uses Elite and Gigabyte motherboards and ATX P4 Case, that there is no HDMI interface with this motherboard or case, how can i get HDMI support do I have to use a difirent motherboard manufactorer or a difirence case?
6. Does Graphic Media Accelerator x310 which comes with the G31 chipset support a resolution of 1366 x 768? this is so I can hock up my Graphic output to the Sharp Aquos LC-42PX5M to view moviesGigaybyte Motherboard, G31, E7400, 4GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB HDD and ATX Case Deal questions?
1. Yes you will be able to very easily
2. Try shopping around a bit. I would try http://www.newegg.com myself
3. I would not recommend downgrading. Here is a good deal for the E7400 on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115206%26amp;Tpk=e7400]
4. Again, newegg has a great utility for this.
5. Try shopping around, and I know it seems like I keep touting newegg unrealistically, but......
6. That is a definite non-standard resolution, so it seems unlikely but that is just a guess.

I want to build a comuter using a micro atx case and want to know if the hardware I pick is compatible.?
I want this computer to have a AMD processor. This computer will be used for audio, video,and picture editing, gaming ( games like Lost Planet, Bioshock, G.R.A.W. 2). I want to know if the following hardware is enough for this. I know I still need memory sticks, a hard drive and a PSU. But I'm open to suggestions. One more thing will the motherboard fit in the case. My budget is in the $600 to $700.

Is this good should I stick to this or change a piece for another.
Thanks to everyone who responds.
GeorgeI want to build a comuter using a micro atx case and want to know if the hardware I pick is compatible.?
Good Choice. I'd say you pretty much nailed it. AMD X2 6000's a good deal for gaming and media editing.
Two things though, 1. AMD is coming out with their quad core family soon. Might want to hold on for that. And 2. Your video card is not Dx10-compliant, if you want that feature.
Happy hunting and good buying.

Will a micro ATX motherboard fit In a old Atx case?
My atx case is ... Well I really don't know if it's old or not but it is an atx case. I'm mostly worried about how all the ports from the back of the micro will fit in the back of the case alright... Will it work? Also will a micro atx motherboard preform just as good as a reg atx? I wanted to get a Matx mobo to replace my old mono and processor. could someone just give me the dimensions of a microatx? Thanks!!Will a micro ATX motherboard fit In a old Atx case?
microATX, also known as 碌ATX (sometimes transliterated as mATX[1] or uATX[2][3] on internet forums) is a small form factor standard for motherboards that was introduced in December of 1997.[4] The maximum size of a microATX motherboard is 9.6 inches x 9.6 inches (244 mm x 244 mm), but some microATX boards can be as small as 6.75 inches by 6.75 inches (171.45 mm x 171.45 mm)[5]. The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 305 mm 脳 244 mm (12'; wide x 9.6'; deep)Will a micro ATX motherboard fit In a old Atx case?
most atx case should fit a micro atx.
micro atx is like a regular atx but with fewer features so it would be smaller than an atx mobo. (therefore cheaper)
dimensions may differ from matx to matx. so look for a good matx you might want to buy and it should say the exact specs on certain websites. for example newegg.com will more likely have the info than buy.com
Also you can look up your case screw holes dimensions online.
The board is smaller, but not by much. Sorry I don't have dimensions but the mounting holes and connectors will all be in the same place.
yes... with about 90% accuracy.
micro atx is a division of the atx standard and as such should have the screw holes in all the correct placesphilosophy

Need Help with ATX Case with front USB ports & IR Sensor?
I bought this computer case:
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=26851%26amp;vpn=EN-PA411411%26amp;manufacture=ENLIGHT
However, I can't get the front USB working, nor the Media Centre Remote IR Sensor. The case came with like literally NO helpful instructions (how to put in a 3.5'; drive, and that's it). I emailed the company that made it, and they don't reply.
My problem is this:
I have 3 ';cables'; for the USB, which are:
- two 4-pin
- one 5-pin
I can't seem to figure out how to configure this so that it works, and the IR sensor is picked up on the computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.Need Help with ATX Case with front USB ports %26amp; IR Sensor?
Hi,
Below is the link to the PDF manual of the Motherboard you have, this clearly provides instructions which front panel cables go where. Download the same and open the PDF file and search for Front Panel.
http://support.asus.com/download/downloa鈥?/a>
Hope this helps.
PS: There may be some connectors in your cabinet which may or may not get connected to the motherboard as the motherboard may not have specific connection point for them.
Update with results.
Cheers.

Hi Locutis,
You need to check the manual for your motherboard as they can guide you where to connect the front panel connectors on the Motherboard.
Update the details of the Motherboard if possible.
Cheers.
