USB ports blocked by the Case Fan ??
Baffled !
If you look carefully, it is only an illusion that the USB ports are blocked. They are farther back than the edge of the fan.
Ugh those boards are unnecessarily big, cases are honkin big. It's funny cause there looks to be large swaths of space between few components on the X 1000. Maybe this is cheaper somehow? And why are the PCI buses so far apart.? Something is just, weird about what's being manufactured here.
The PCI slots appear to use the standard spacing. See the short connectors between the long ones.
