I got XClio A380Plus Twin Engine Gaming Case and I bought Gigabyte AM2 AMD 790X mobo...
The problem is the mobo wont fit
The screw holes are all over the place
It says "Extended ATX main board fit inside" in the specs of the case

So does that mean it takes only Extended ATX mobos?
Is there a mobo that woud fit into that damn case?

dai

the screw holes are all over the place to cater for the different size m/boards
you just screw the standoffs into the appropiate holes for your m/board usually 9
if you do the rear 3 first,then the 2 others going across the bottom and top then the centre 2 it's easier to line up the correct holes

Well its not easy to line up the correct holes with Gigabyte AM2 AMD 790X mobo
As I said the screw holes of the case dont match up with the holes on the mobo

dai

apart from there being only 7 holes they look to be in standard positions for a atx case
put the top 3 in and place the m/b on them
dip a match stick in some ink or some thing similar and put it through the holes to mark the the backing plate

None of the holes are in standard positions
I've tried it many times

dai

you can either return the case or undersize drill holes where you have marked them and thread in the standoff

I tried that mobo on Antec case aswell, same problem..
So I want to get a new mobo: Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe
Do u know if the Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe has screw holes inthe same positions as Gygabyte one?
And how about Extended ATX mobos? Are they any good?

dai

have a look at the position of the holes on the asus site page for that m/board
