just finished building my thermaltake armour, with giga ds3r and noticed somit

you see when i got the case it came with no manual so i duly went and downloaded one, going thru it step by step in order to get everything done to ie wire placement etc

i just came to the last page and DoH, its titled proper installation of the motherboard, it says before installing the motherboard put 3 mylex (plastic thingys) onto the case back.

omg im livid :mad: :mad:

its a bit late to tell me that dumb manual

anyhow question is anyone use em, are they needed?, would welcome a reply from a thermaltake owner 2 pls.

thanks in advance

hhmmm, i found them pretty near the fornt in my manual :/ yes, answer is you prabably will need the, as they rpevent the mobo from shorting on the backplate (which has been designed to accomodate a BTX upgrade kit.

the chances of you shorting are minimal, but they are useful as a precaution.

it would be wise to remove the mobo and begin again, just to save yourself later, potential hassle

I have em, didn't know what to do with them, so chucked em back in the box and never used em. I found out what they were for a couple weeks down the line, but since I had zero problems I didn't put em on. Loads of people haven't installed the plastic bits either, with zero problems. I wouldn't worry about it at all. :p
 
work in pooter shop and have built a few builds in armour cases, never had a shorting problem, never used those mylex things - i wouldn't worry about it myself

they put them in to cover their backs, their is the potential risk of shorting, however small, it would only take one of the metal bits on the back of the motherboard to touch it, and personally i didn't think it was worth the risk.

@ B@th*ng.
how can you not be taking every precaution to ensure that your customers will recieve their machine in full working order, and that it will continue to function in full working order.

cowboys like you are why i build my own (that and it's cheaper)

Most likely because if the customers rig blows up..the shop he works in makes more money went the customer brings it back to be repaired...

If you screw the mobo in properly how is the mobo gonna touch the backplate? :confused:
