Got a new motherboHard, one problem. My case isn't aligned with my motherboard. Do I have to get a new case or can I replace a part? Low quality photos below . Hopefully those will show you what's wrong

Well,


Generally ATX cases have standoffs that can be removed and screwed in to diffrent holes.


Assuming you have already adjusted these, then a new case would be in order.

Well, I asume its the slots that don't line up at all?
I had that issue too...
Solution: Remove the plate.

[photos coming]

There actually WAS a plate that had pre-cut holes for the components, but I had to remove it!





Excuse the overbright, back of computer is about 5" from the wall

Thanks Travis, I'll do that now. One last question, my old motherboard had a fan attached to it but I could not put it on my new version so is it okay if my computer has only one fan?
