You are talking about the I/O shield, when you purchase a motherboard, it comes with a piece of metal call "I/O shield" you'll have to take off the one from the case and put the one that comes with the motherboard. (OEM motherboard does not come with an I/O Shield)

Pentium 4 3.6Ghz Prescott
Asus P5WD2 Premium
Corsair XMS 2Gig DDR2 667Mhz
X700Pro 256MB GDDR3
WD Raptor 36.7GB
WD 250GB 16MB SATA II
Coolermaster 430Watt

I don't have a case yet I enjoy not having one
