This case has raised bumps instead of normal standoffs with one exception. The middle one is a brass pin that is used for aligning the motherboard. I've read many conflicting statements about whether this case has additional normal standoff that can be mounted in the middle or not.
I'm going to use a motherboard that has only 6 mounting holes so I would like to screw them all.

Does it have that extra normal standoff or not?

I don't need to own the case. I've build quite a few systems using it. The center standoff is removeable. It can be replaced by a normal standoff, of course. It can also be removed altogether on systems that don't have a heavy GPU card and don't need the extra support. I recommend using ALL standoff locations whenever possible. Here's another testimony to this fact from a similar thread.


I've just built a PC inside a new 300R today, where you placed the red circle - there's just a threaded hole and you get one standoff that you can screw in there if your mobo has a screw hole there, or leave it as it is if your mobo doesn't have a mounting hole there. I'm used a rather heavy GPU so I happily mounted a screw there for added weight...

Motherboard mounting holes:

Case standoffs:

The one marked by x is a pin that goes through the motherboard.
I would be glad if someone who owns this case could confirm that it can be replaced by normal standoff and if that standoff is included.

Also, the one dummy stud that comes pre-installed is different than the one in this photo, it's a black stud with plastic tip, like the ones in, for example, Graphite 600T cases. It's removable so you can replace it with a threaded stand-off if you wish.
