Don't be intimidated by all the cables, the plugs, the CD's and manuals that you find inside of this case. Everything has perfectly good use and once you get the hang of it, you will see that it is all very easy to figure out. The user guide. It lets you know all the specific functions that your motherboard has to offer. First I am going to explain these funny looking cables.

It has all the right holes and all the right places for your motherboard to fit nicely in the back and prevent a lot of dust from getting in once you have your system set up.

For instance in this demo, I have an extra fire wire for it, some used and some other various things. If you have any questions, refer to your user manual on the specifics for your motherboard. "
