@whose

Thanks for explaining it.

So it's the screws on the VGA, Serial etc...ports that keep it in place?

@TheDaddy:

So it seems... Nibunnoichi could enlighten us more, but Im sure that my findings from his pic are right.

Advantage of this is, that you dont need to "uncase" the SAM in order to fix the plate. Its mountable from the outside by loosening the bolts of the port connectors, fitting the plate in place and fastening the bolts again (depending on the case, but I think for most cases this will work).

@whose

You're also less likely to lose blood getting it in place too.

@ Nibunnoichi

thanks for the pic!..it looks like a good quality backplate and I like the engraving too...worth the wait I say

kidding about what? I would've been happy with any piece of metal to go back there but I'm happy to see that ACube went the 'little extra' quality wise...kidding would have been if they sent us a piece of cardboard cut out by hand

Well, finally I shall can uncovered the nakedness of my case.

The screws from the ports take it in place and then it slides in the back of the case. As for "the blood" it is quite thick so it's not as dangerous as some of the backplates i had with x86 mobos, it also has "L" angled edges to help. Anyhow i bought my case also from ACube so i can't tell if they did this "L" shaping specifically for this case or if it's an option with any backplate (i suppose the others have some kind of pre-cuts to shape and cut it as you wish).
It looks good construction quality after all.

Great news! I'll no-longer need to worry about spiders nesting on my CPU...

Now those that get a Sam will not be able to complain about the pre-beta OS and lack of back plate, can you imagine that!?

Great News

I've got the same problem here, can not reach http://www.acube-systems.biz :

ERRORE: 10.20.211.11, 212.23.175.187 non è un indirizzo IP valido!

Strange...it works fine here.
