    Cool nForce ports?

    Here goes my first post here:
    I have been wondering how exactly nForce motherboards will work. The way i see it if a mobo company implements all of the possibilites there are a few to many ports that need to fit on the motherboard than what a standard case faceplate (or backplate or whatever its called) has. Will there be a plate shipping with the motherboard, will we just have to put some scissors to that thin metal on the back of the case, will there be riser cards? or will there be any external boxes or connection devices?

    well i quess lets put it this way, If you have 2 usb, rj-45 (network), rj-11 (phone line), 2 ps/2, a parallel port, 1 or 2 seriel, game port, 4 or 5 audio ports, and a 15 pin video port, not to mention the possibility of tv-out those don't all fit on the standart backplate of a case, I know all motherboards won't support all of these connectors, but some of them will have to have most if not all?
