    I was wondering whether anyone could help me out. It's my first time building a PC and I'm guessing the answer to this question is pretty standard but here goes:

    I want to use an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe S939 motherboard and a Coolmaster Centurion 5 case, the pictures of each are shown below, however I was wondering how the two will fit together with regards to the connectors at the back of the case i.e. the mouse, the keyboard, the monitor.

    I ask this because looking at the pictures it seems like the template for connectors on the back of the actual case is different to the connectors shown on the motherboard.

    hi there,
    The motherboard comes with the metal plate to fit the back of your case so need to worry.Just remove the standard one and replace.

    Just completed building system you described with Athlon 64 3500 Venice, ASUS-Atlas power supply, ASUS-XMars heatsink and fan. Ran first crank out of the box and running 33 degrees C. Idle and 37 C rendering video. Great machine. A little iffy setting up the front panel sound connections - everything else was a cake walk.
