Got a Coolermater Elite 430 and i'm trying to screw in the stand offs, but no matter which hole i try they wont screw right the way in. At least 2 threads are left sticking out.

is it supposed to be like this?
 
Didn't come with any...

Problem solved actually, there's a little attachment with a phillips screwdriver head one end and a stand off shaped bit the other to help screw them in.
 
Another spot of bother now, the fan cable for the case is too short to reach the socket on the motherboard... They've given me another adapter type thing with two PSU connectors on it. Do i plug both these in or just one?
 
Ahh ok, noticed that my GPU has a 3pin connector on it aswell as the 6 pin power connector.

Should i plug the fan into that?

I also have the coolermaster 430 and found the standoffs a pain to install, especially as the inside of the case is black. If youre not using the standoffs how are you getting your GFX card and any other cards to install correctly?

The other 3 pin card on your GFX card is most likely a SPDIF connection for the sound over HDMI

And post up some pics :)

I got the standoffs installed in the end. Used the little screwdriver tip thingy supplied in the bag. SHould have looked before i made the thread :D

Will get some pics up later, just struggling to arrange everything as the case is actually too big for my desk lol.
