MOBO MEET CASE

MINI-ITX BUILDS ARE, as you’d expect, mini. This makes fitting anything into place a lot more awkward and screamworthy than a standard build. So, as you can imagine, fitting this motherboard was a joy. First off, we need to add the I/O shield to the open case slot. This is the easy part. Then we have to lower the board into place and screw down each of the corners into the case stand-offs, using the screws provided. We recommend using a long-nose magnetic screwdriver. Everyone has dropped screws into a tight space at one time or another, and having a magnetic tool helps a lot when recovering them. With the motherboard installed, it’s nice to see the build coming together.
