| Question about building your own system I'd like to get rid of my old high-tower and transfer all my components into a new case. Problem is, I've never built my own system, I always buy pre-built PC's, so I'm lacking a bit of expertise in this field. What I would like to know is, if it would be possible to put my MSI 848P Neo-S motherboard into this Cooler Master Centurion 5 case I recently discovered. I don't think it's available here yet, but I'm in no hurry. One thing I noticed is that the plastic plate on the back with all the connectors on it, has another layout than the one I currently have. Can I just use the one I have in my high-tower and put it in this Centurion case? Any advice appreciated. |

| yes the mobo and the case will fit and no, there's no need to install the backplate of your old tower, the CM-case will come pre-equipped with little bolts and everything to install the motherboard. it really is quite easy, you just have to go slow at it, there's no rush in putting everything over from case to case.
