I'm just installing this new board into an A-TOP 900 full ATX case and hit upon a few problems -
The floppy and IDE pin sets and power plug on the motherboard sit right in front of the Hard drive & Floppy drive bays.
The fit is so tight, you cannot remove a drive from this tool-less case unless you remove the power cable and all four sticks of RD - RAM There is a kit to place the floppy drive in a 5.25 bay, but no place to move the hard drive to as there is no mounting rack over the power supply and there are no brackets included to make the hard drive a 5.25 bay item......
There isn't enough room to rotate the hard drive bay 90 degrees, otherwise I'd drill out the mounting rivets and rebuild it.
So this case with this motherboard is a bit of a drag - but I'll make it work.
More updates as the build continues.
