I screwed the motherboard in with a few PCI Cards to make sure they were aligned, then I took a screw driver which could fit through the screw holes on the motherboard and used a hammer to hammer down on the driver to mark the positions. Then i drilled right in the center of those positions. I only had to drill 3? or was it 4 holes. Only one of the holes were slightly off but thankfully not that badly and It all fit when the board got screwed down.How did you position the standoff holes? Seems like they would have to be very accurately to line up properly with the MB and any original standoffs you'd use. This is what kept me from drilling holes in my preferred case.
Thanks.

Note that the screw driver that fits through the motherboard screwhole should have as little wiggle room as possible, meaning it should fit the width of the hole almost perfectly. This way you won't be able to bend the driver or mark the wrong position. I figure you could even use a drill bit with the same size as the screwhole to mark the positions. That would probably be better even.Thanks. Noted for future reference.
