Enlight 7237 & Asus P3V4X mounting problems..

[valicon]

I have a Enlight 7237 case with an Asus P3V4X motherboard.
The holes in the case do not seem to correctly match up to
those on the motherboard. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what mods to the case did you do??

I want the board to be secure. Also, if I need more standoffs where can I buy them?? Thanks all

First computer?

The MB holes will line up with at least 3 of the holes in the case. You only need those 3, it's better if you have 4 (one near each corner) though.

Actually, in all the time that I have been working with computers,
which is over 19 years, I have buit close to 100 systems. So, no it
is not my first computer. However, this is the first case I have
ever encountered where the holes do not match the board and I did
not receive any standoffs for the board. This is the first time
using this case though.

hmm...I haven't had any problems installing p3v4xs in over 10 enlight 7237 cases. Extra standoffs are in a little bag of screws(which is inside that white rectangular box of drive rails, etc).

All the holes line up, the top left standoff isn't installed sometimes, but this isn't a problem. Just grab one of the spares from the extra screws bag and screw it into the mounting hole.

I did not receive the stand offs and the hardware bag with the screws,
etc. And no matter how I align the board, it just does'nt line up.
Maybe I got a bum case
