You definitely need a battery. It should have come with the board. I would contact who you bought it off of to get one. They should be standard battteries for all the motherboards.

do you mean the silver disk-like battery, yes you need one, what it does is hold your computers settings stable in your CMOS chip.

If you don't want to RMA it, etc... look up the info on MSI's website, somewhere in the doc, it might mention the battery number.

Then jsut go to Radio Shack, purchase battery & pop it in. Home Depo & Lowes also have a variety of the small batteries.

The board is quite small. i have a big case not an small jobby

is this alright or do i have to get a bigger sized motherboard to fit into my case?

Your motherboard is a micro-atx form factor, so it depends on what kinds of form factors your case supports. Hold the motherboard up to the place where you mount it and see if the screw holes line up.
