I've read somewhere that you can't mount the motherboard with the armor on because of the standoffs? Is this for all of the cases?

I was getting ready to purchase the case until I read that and it kind of broke my heart...

The Armor covers some of the standoff holes in the mobo

Any ideas on how I can fix that myself? I don't want to wait for Corsair to start shipping out the new ones.

Just to clarify, do you mean put the steel backplate on then the mobo then the plastic armor?

Thanks.

I actually decided to go with the 900D, no reports of issues with that one. Corsair has a fix for the 750D already but not sure when its coming. You can go over to Corsair's forum for updates.

I was about to buy a Formula motherboard for a 750D today when I read about this issue... Can anyone confirm that there definitely is a workaround (preferably one that doesn't involve RMAing) at the moment?

Yes I can confirm that there is a workaround to this I have the formula in the 750D but you'll have to remove the back plate to get it in
