    I/O Case Panl cutout & Mobo I/O Connector mismatch

    Thanks for your help. Effectively, I found it after checking the mobo package. It's so flimsy and not as sturdy as the Antec. Additionally, the Antec has color coded with appropriate laminated label. I am wondering where I can find a good quality self adhesive label for the I/O shield panel.

    Not at this point. I had an OC Tbird 800 mobo Abit KT7-RAID + 800 cpu and never get a chance to OC them. I do consider this solution as a last resort e.g. in another year or so when I get the 64FX 51 system. This way, I always have a working system
