I going to be building my new rig tonight (see sig), and just though about mounting screws etc.

Does this case come with all required mounting screws? For mounting motherboard, PSU, hard drive, floppy etc?

Cheers in advance :D
 
it comes with 2 small plastic bags crammed full of mobo, hdd, and assorted other screws, inc mobo spacers ect ect.

Just dont forget you need to buy your own fans!

Not only that... They are black screws. :D

It is a good case - Not as well built as Lian Li's, but close. :)
The front PCI Plate thing is handy too, if the cables reach.
 
Yep - this case is excellent. I had to unclip the fron panel wires from the bottom-right cable tie to get them to reach the mobo connectors though. Still way out of the way :)
 
That front PCI panel... how do you connect it to the mobo?
I havent actually looked at mine but it would be very useful for me to have my soundblaster on the front, as there is no headphone jack on my speakers, so have to switcheroo on the card itself.
You mention a cable, I didnt have any cables in my case... unless its already attached to the front pci thing?

Right... Seems peeps don't quite get it...

PCI cards go into your PCI slot. Obviously.
They cannot go anywhere else.

The bits that come WITH the motherboard... Like extra USB ports, or the 'gameport' for if you want to use joysticks/joypads etc that plug into the MOBO (not PCI ).
Some CC's come with a switch on a PCI Blanking plate.

So it's the extra blanking plates you can transfer... not cards themselves. They still need to go into the back as usual, to fit into the PCI slots. :p

The cables on the USB/Firewire things etc are rather short though, so didn't reach the mobo in this case.
I expect a couple of things maaay fit. But it would be trial and error.

For your headphones, are there not front audio jacks on the case?
(I can't remember, was building PC for a friend)
If so, then plug them into your soundcard.
Plug in headphones -> Should auto-mute your soundcard one and output the sound to the front port instead of the rear port.

Same as on-board sound, but plugging it into your soundcard rather than mobo.
 
If you have the same case as me (Eclipse 62), then the front panel will have cables running down the inside-front of the case and alone the bottom. The problem is that these are just a bit too short to connect to the motherboard. I fixed this by taking the cable out of the cable tie at the bottom-right corner of the case. This gave me plenty of length on the cables.

The front panel on the case supplies 2 USB2 ports as well as the usual LEDs and switches. One of the cables that comes from the front panel is for the USB2 ports. You just plug the other end into the mobo.

If you want audio connectors on the front of the machine, you will need to buy an additional panel as the Eclipse does not support audio on the front panel.
