A7N8X users need some help

i just bought this motherboard and want to install it into my
CHENMING case(antec case) but i have a problem. the way the audio and dual network cards wont fit into the holder against the case. (and from the looks of it, i will have to force off the plate which i dont want to do. ) did anyone recievea plate with their motherboard? or do i just need to take the plate off and live with it?

...You SHOULD have been given another plate with the board...it's part of the package.

I own 2 A7N8X's both came with plates for mobo...if yours didnt, go to the store and b!tch..if the 17 year-old nerd on his summer job at the comp store isnt very helpful...email asus and raise hell! you might get a response (tho i doubt it)

Amen, Bee. I just purchased the fine Asus A7N8X Deluxe and have yet to put together a full system. Also got a BFG Asylum Ti 4200 128mb 4x to go with it, all from Fry's Electronics. I did recieve the IO shield, no problems, and when I get back to my computer once I'm off vacation I'll see if I can figure out how to pop the existing one off.

I put one of mine into my next project machine... only have the thermaltake case and the mobo right now...but one day, when its all obsolete, i may finish it
