So i was an idiot and bought a motherboard to go into this coolermaster case. The motherboard fits but the graphics card sticks out of the case.

I found out that the motherboard is from a Dell atx pc and dell are.. well, they dont want you using their parts on other stuff.

This leads me to asking you guys, whats the best tool i can use to make extra mounting holes for the mobo to fit with a gpu in case?

Thank you!!

if the case is newer atx case it should have drilled holes to move the standoffs from atx-itx mb. look online see if dell atxc mb has the standoffs in the same place. if your case inside has the drive bays set up wrong see if they come out. if not i see about returning the case for a larger one that fix your parts.

Honestly I think you would be better off buying a new mobo, be much better than that dell one, and no drilling required !

What do you mean "the graphics card sticks out of the case" ? Where?
