I got a new motherboard, and a fractal design nano s, the mobo is m-atx, and I just found out that the case only supports m-itx, is it possible to mod the case so it can fit a m-atx, or do I have to send back the mobo, so I can get a m-itx mobo?

You cant make a 10" board fit into a 7" slot without a lot of metal fabrication.

With the right access to tools and knowledgebase anything metal can be modified, but if you are asking I doubt you have the tools or knowledge to hack up the case, weld sheet metal to make it bigger, weld in supports and thread in metal stand offs, and re-powder coat the metal.

Just get the right case for your board, or a different board and let this be a lesson on reading specs a little more closely.
