Hey there folks. Since my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard is on the fritz, I went ahead and got one of the new ULi chipset ASRock motherboards. Specificly the 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard. Upon openning the retail box I found that the ASRock motherboard had no backplate on the back of the motherboard. Instead of a backplate holding the stock retention module on, it uses 4 small plastic clips that go through the motherboard. How do I mount the Swiftech Strom block on this board without the backplate? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Can you take a pic so we all can see.............. 
Does the board at least have a hole in the middle of the side where they normally have the mount screw going through to the back plate?

From the way the pics look, alll you need to do is get a back plate and install it like any other A64 board.

Swiftech used to sell them, but I'm not sure if they still do. They are still listed here:
