I bought the ATX model after watching some tutorials. I noticed the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth component isn't part of the ATX version.

Make sure to fasten the antennas into the gold threaded connections. Edited: it seems odd, they don't fit.

The lack of built-in WiFi on the board isn't uncommon; many modern motherboards don't include it by default. What's interesting is the presence of antenna mounts on the IO shield. ASRock often includes these mounting holes, which means if you purchase a WiFi card later, you can attach the studs to the shield and achieve a standard setup. Yet, among the half dozen ASRock models I've tested with this configuration, none came pre-installed without WiFi. This suggests either the mounts were added after purchase or that the board was previously owned and resold without those components removed.

It appears the back fan is in reverse due to some previous modifications. Check for small wires concealed beneath the VRM cover. What’s inside that Luke Skywalker-style cover?

I bought the antennas separately since I needed them to complete the gaps, even though I don’t use Wi-Fi—just Bluetooth.

It seems like you're suggesting a change, maybe it would look better? Haha.

If it coupd be blue to dit the sonict heme a bit then sure. I'd be a shame to loose the theming otherwise. Also since this is a genuine collectors thingy board keep the box and everything in good condition for when you evebtually upgrade and this thing could be sold. Just like the starwars gpu's and such they kept a good bit of value and motherboards tend to be one of the big value holders usually.
