Does this motherboard support everything on this case

The case and m/b are compatibale, it has nothing to do with the drive bays, thats just to hold additional drives, like your hard drive, cd rom, etc. You just have to make sure the case supports your m/b's form factor, ATX. So yes, they will fit.

but dont you have to connect all of the bays to the motherboard? so i am wondering if the mobo has enough 'connectors', or whatever they are. or i am wrong..
 
You dont have to connect "bays" to the motherboard. You fit CD-ROM drives and hard drives into the bays and connect those to the motherboad. Its up toy uo how many drives etc you want to have.
 
yeah, thats what i was talking about, but could the motherboard handle that many differnt drives? like, if i have a DVD/CD-+RW, CD-ROM, Floppy drive, 9-1 card reader, etc, will the motherboard be able to handle all of that? sorry if i sound stupid, im just kinda new with comps.
 
Yes of course, from just looking at the picture of the mobo you can see that there are 2 IDE channels that gives a maximum of 4 devices on IDE, you could put CD drives DVD drives hard drives and card readers on IDE channels. You may also notice that the mobo has SATA (serail A to A) aswell. This is like the next generation of IDE (whch is sometimes called PATA (parallel A to A). Devices such as hard drives can connect to SATA channels.

And just to clear up one last point, the case has nothing to do with the motherboard, as long as it is ATX form factor the mobo will fit in it, as long as the case has enough bays for what you want then it is fine.

Bays are just empty slots and have nothing to do with the motherboard
