DFI SLI-DR and Antec P-160 Case

has anybody installed this board with this case successfully or had any problems while doing it?(any problems with mobo tray or anything in particular?)

I haven't tried it but I don't see how there will be a problem, what problems are you expecting?

either i'm being retarded or just overlooking something simple, but the yellow plate thing underneath the board that holds the nuts(for the plate on top)isn't allowing my board to sit flat on the standoffs. i'm going to go look over everything again, either i'm just missing something or .. well i don't know haha. be back in a few i guess.

Hmm...

Ok the basics. Standoffs screw into the motherboard tray (the metal plate that comes out of the case 😛) and point toward you. Their purpose is to elevate the motherboard off of the case itself so that if you touch the case the static doesn't short the motherboard. The, the motherboard *should* sit flat on the standoffs after much jiggling and all the standoffs should be directly under the screwholes for the motherboard.

I really can't think of what could be wrong, seems like you messed up step one of the whole computer building process, don't you hate that?? :beer:
