I hope yours works out much the same for you. I suspect it will.

Great throughput & plenty of connections from USB to SATA (what more do you need from MB?).

Yours looks cooler than mine.
You gonna add the extra lights and such? I didn't, but it was tempting.
For some reason your cables look much neater than mine too, though I tried.

Did you get the little door hanger thingy with the motherboard?
Working from home more, this has actually come in handy here!

If I'm in a meeting where I can't be interrupted it works a treat <grin>

/TBH sometimes I have used it even when I'm not in a meeting, but don't tell the wife


LOL, I got the door hanger but that will not slow down my wife...lol
There are some LEDs that came on the board and a clear window to see through on my case.

I don't know, having all those flashing LEDs does not do much for me. I don't even put up Christmas lights any longer...lol I use to when I lived in Texas, but you have to leave them up all year to be an official redneck...lol

I did not go to any great effort to make the wiring look neat. I just tie wrapped things a bit. This case has a door on the bottom side of the motherboard so some wire is there. The case is bigger than I really needed but easy to work on.

So far so good on the new system.
