there really isn't anything, trust me I tried I have the same case and MB, the flaw is in the case, I recommend trying to exchange it, thats what I am doing.
apemanttt, can you cut down the large standoffs and make them work. Just make sure your MB is not touching the case bosses that were shorting it before. There maybe a happy point were they will also work with your PCI slots. Just a thought but if you don't want take the time I would send back your MB.

I would recommend sending the case back, I have done some research and the average ATX MB size is 12x9, if thats the case you may have problems with other motherboards.
Check your memory if not seated or in wrong or just plain bad memory,it will not boot the CPU to power-up.But the MB light will come on
Some of the suggestions are funny....some people just read the topic and then post without reading the whole thread. 
Obviously the case is shorting the motherboard on one or all of those three raised nubs. (dimples, stand offs, risers thingys)

Haha yeah I was thinking the same thing, but it's great that they are trying to help.
Whew, I think I finally got everything working. I installed some electrical tape to the chasis and it looks like everything is going to work out now.
My only remaining problem is the two CD drives are installed are a CDRW and DVD drive and the drivers for them are both on CDs. How do I go about installing my operating system off of a cd then?
Leave the brackets there, slide the motherboard through the holes, you may have to bend them alittle.
The CMOS jumper pins normal operation should be the set of pins away from the PCI slots.
Do you have your CPU plugged into the motherboard fan 1.
There are 2 rows of pins that the supply leads hook up to.
PN1 & PN2
PN1 is the one located closest to your ram slots, it's the second one in: from the edge of the board.
PN2 is the set of pins closest to the edge of the motherboard
PN1 and PN2 pin count starts from the edge of the board going in toward the PCI slots. So the pin closest to the edge of the board is pin1,then pin2,pin3 etc.
PN1 connections:
The Power led goes on pin 1,2 and 3 on PN1, the colored wiore is the hot side and goes on pin 1
The Hard Drive led goes on pin 6 and 7 on PN1 with the colored wire going on pin 6
The Power on switch goes on pins 8 and 9 0n PN1 .
Thats it for PN1
PN2 connections.
The Reset switch goes to pin 1 and 2 on PN2 , pin one is closest to the edge of the board.
Speaker goes to pin 4,5,6 and 7 on PN2 with the colored wire going on pin 4
Now check your Ram, is it inserted
Check video card, seated all the way in.
Check your cable to hard drive, pin 1 or the Red or black stripe on the end of the cable goin to your hard drive goes closest to the Red wire on the power feed Plug. The end going into the motherboard ,the red stripe goes to pin 1 on the Eide slot, Pin 1 is from left to right looking at the ram slots above for oreintation.
Make sure your ATX cable is firmly ilocked in place
Check and make sure no standoffs are touching the botherboard that aren't screwed in.
Carefully slide the motherboard into the slots at the rear, leave the clips on the USB and Ps2 holes , you may have to push alittle to get it in.
Power it up.
Good luck

You can boot from most OS discs. You may have to change the boot order in the bios to CDROM first. Put the CD in and it will boot from it. What OS? You may have to watch for the message "press anykey to boot from CD" or something like that.
Could you take some pics of the electrical tape? I did the same thing, but it didn't work. I would like to see where you put the tape
alms, i can't reaay take pictures now because my mobo is set over most of the tape. I placed tape over the two spacers that didn't have screwed screwed into them and I also placed electrical tape over the screws which stuck out of the bottom corner of the case. Another thing I did was remove those stupid metal things sticking out of where the bays go on the back of the chasis.
You removed the metal resistance things where the USB ports, keyboard and mouse ports are? I put electrical tape on the bottom of the case where the metal rivets/screws were coming in and touching the MB. I also put electrical tape on all 3 spacers towards the front of the case. Mine powered up and then I shut it down and then nothing again when I had it in there. I fought with the thing for hours and then gave up and RMAed it. I am now awaiting a new case since the evercase is being used.
I would send the case back, but if your not going too:
Hammer them nubs down with a ball pein Hammer, the 3 in the back of the case and put the motherboard in and take a pencil and trace the motherboard holes with the motherboard fully seated in the slot holes, get a tiny drill with a slightly smaller dimension than the standoffs and drill holes for the new standoffs. I beleive it's a 3/32nds or 5/64 drill bit.
Screw the standoffs in the new holes and Presto.
I saw that case and have done this to a similar one.
My ball pein hammer worked great on it.

If you followed everyone's suggestions I bet your case would look like a beat up peice of scrap iron by now with all the dremel this and hammer that. HAHAHA
