OK. All I can say is that all the tests reports for you MB were done in
systems with 500+ watt power supplies and there was one post from a guy
that needed to get a larger power supply to get his system to boot.

The last case I bought came with a set of backplates.

As I've said before, it never hurts to ask questions.

That's wierd. I would call that a mistake by the vendor.

The plate does have it's uses. It keeps out the dust and helps with
airflow.

There are several around here. Why don't you drop Jerry Rash an e-mail.
He's bad at reading this list and good at tracking this kind of stuff
down, when he has time.
