Fitting Mobo..

Im about to fit a Abit IN9 32X into a Antec P192 case and noticed that only 3 brass Standoff studs were included with the case . The motherboard tray has the 9 raised screw holes built in which match the mobo so am i wrong in assuming that i need more brass studs?...or am i missing something.. ? ..or am i dumb..?

Yeah, there should be more than that.

Yeah there should be more... You COULD fit it, but when fitting new stuff to it it might break the wiring on the motherboard under the flex of it...

Hi Stix,

My antec p180 came with a little screw 'n' fittings box. This had all the screws for the case in it. Maybe the standoffs are there? As the other guys have said - 3 is not remotely enough to safely mount the board! :eek:

Have a search! Mine were mounted on the back of one of the removable HDD trays. Pull yours out and take a look!

Let us know how you get on!
