A decent mainboard manufacturer will supply you with the correct I/O panel for the mainboard you bought, and if it's a quality case, the panel will snap in easily. The cases I get from Inwin come with two "universal" panels with pop-outs (like electrical boxes have). One's for boards that have onboard RJ45 ethernet. The other is for boards with onboard video/sound. Both have popouts for serial, parallel, USB, and mouse/keyboard. > [Urrg. Thats' a question.
