[SOLVED] I'm slowly upgrading my computer, starting with the case, but I have some questions

[yeetus]

I bought a corsair SPEC-DELTA case and now I need to take the motherboard out of its current case and put it in the new case but I'm not sure what to do about two things. The IO shield is a line up the slot type and then slide it into place but the new case has a snap-in style. I want to know if it ok to leave the IO shield out. Now my second question is if my IS7XM motherboard from a ThinkCentre M92p will line up with the mounting posts and the PCI-E covers and all that jazz ?

If someone can help me find out all this info or a group of people can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the help!

Io shields are always pop in /out. You can pop it out of the old case and then pop it into the new one.

The board needs to be on the little brass standoffs. Depending on the form factor there should be a stand off in a certain pattern. mATX, ATX, use them in different places. This info is usually on the case itself. Figure out which board you have and make sure you have them in the right spot.

I/O shields are normally standard.
If yours is proprietary, then it would be ok to leave it off.
Photos look like the motherboard is a standard MATX size with 4 i/o slots.
That will fit in your case.
Line up the holes on the motherboard with those in the case to be certain.
Missing one is ok.
But an extra post which is under a hole is a problem.

Also, the motherboard seems to have a proprietary 14 pin power socket.
Your current power supply might not fit properly.
The rear dimensions of a standard atx psu will be 86mm x 140mm.
