Hi :) I have my computer for about a week and noticed I put the wrong screws in the standoffs and not enough (Only had 4 out of the 9) should be at least 7 in the standoffs so I put all the new standoffs into the case and then tested them all with the new screws I will be putting in them and they all go in fine!!! But when the motherboard is in the case its a whole other story, the motherboard is perfectly lined up but the ****ing screws never go in!!! I only got one in in the past 2 hours and I'm really starting to get annoyed at this, is there a special way to put these buggers in?!!! Thanks :)

The pic of the board is too dark to see anything meaningful. I'm more interested is seeing an unsuccessful hole rather than a successful one. There are more than one type of screw in your hand. The screws can be identified by the pitch of the threads, coarse or fine. That could be your whole problem assuming the holes in the MB are aligned with the standoffs below.

Can you post a pic of a hole/standoff/screw that you cannot make work?

Check in case you have any other screws included with the case.
