Somebody told me that each case is layed out to only fit a certain type of motherboard size. I went to frys and i think i saw 3-4 types of motherboard sizes. A slim one, a square looking one, a big square looking one, and i forgot the other. He told me that each case has the screwable holes that only a certain type of motherboard will fit?
