k good news i got my case no prob but badf news i mounted the mobo wrong i think i turned on the psu and woooomp a grounding noise i was like ooo@#$@#$ i looked however and nothing looks burnt and i didnt smell anything so i think the mobo may have survived can anyone tell me how to mount it i just put it in and screwed it down after putting like seperators on the screw so it wasnt touching the mobo but then that i looked in my manual aai and it said to put copper risers inbetween the mobo and case well thats all fine and dandy sept A: i dont have copper risers and B: i dont think more metal will ground it specially copper...urlyin u know this stuff HELP anyone !!! thank u...i love u al....

The copper "standoffs" are what you need to use as these help to keep the board off of the case, the standoffs will not short your mobo. You can buy these from your local computer shop, but they should have came with your case.

The motherboard is dead . My friend did that on his first build too. Dont feel bad, common mistake.

For next time, you need to put those risers on the metal plate of the case that you mount the motherboard to, put them where there are screw holes on the motherboard. I usually set the motherboard down on the mounting plate, and then mark the case through each screw hole with a marker to know where to put the risers.

Did you have the computer completely built? I dont know if any other parts would be affected.

Well more updates

i connected my usb 2.0 8 pack thing in (8 connectors on a strip) and well i finally figured out how to connect my case usb ports u see the strip has a yellow block and one of the squares is filled w/ plastic so it only fits one way..well the case usb ports had like 10diff wires sticking out of it...sigh* o well anyways because of the way my comp is set up i was seriously tired of reaching in the back to plug in my mp3 player my printer and stuff is usb so its in all the time i dont care......but....so i took the time cracked open the case looked @ the markings on the usb wires then looked in the mobo manual..well they werent marked exactly the same but no matter i understood and after like 30min (do to a small space) i plugged those tiny ass connectors and now my front highly accesable usb ports work another new comp step forward
