hey guys, I have an HP Pavilion a1632x with this motherboard: asus a8n-la. I'm wanting to switch it over to an ATX case that I have lying around ( i kept the case when the old asus board I had in it died a few months back), and the screws and I/O shield line up with the atx case's holes, but Im unable to find any manual given that it is an OEM board built by asus for HP. I've checked HP's website, but there isn't really any definitive manual, just a basic photo with a basic layout of the board. What I'd like to know is if there is a manual for an asus board with an equivalent layout to this one that i can use as a guideline to connecting, especially since my atx case has all of it's connecting wires labelled? PS: the reason why i want to switch cases is for better cooling, since my atx case has plenty of fans and airflow space, otherwise the board runs just fine for my purposes.

Thanks for all your help!

some of those searches link back to HP's website, which doesn't have the manual, just a brief listing of description of the mobo and a small photo with scant labelling. some of the other links refer to the asus a8n SLI; is this motherboard equivalent to the a8n-la? if so, can I use it's manual with labelling diagram to install the wires on my atx case?
