I have a new MSI E7500 master-ls motherboard. it is an Extended ATX MB. 12" wide by 13" deep.

I want to install this MB in a Lian-Li C33 desktop ATX case. there will be NO compoents like HDD, CD/DVD or anything like that. so I have a full 20 inches of depth to install the MB. 12" wide is standard for ATX as well.

I am only planning on installing a power supply along with RAM, Processor and a few cards inside the case.

I do not want to be drilling brand new holes for every mount point on the MB. Am I going to have mother board mounting issues with this case? If so, could it be handled with a simple mod? i.e. drilling out a few extra mount points for the extended part of the MSI E7500.
