Help with motherboard/case fit.

Looking at picking up the Antec Super Lanboy for my Gigabyte mobo

The specs on the lanboy says the mobo can be 12"(W)x9.6"(L) The mobo is 30.5cm x 24.4cm.

If I'm converting them both to mm correctly then
Case 304.8 x 243.8
Mobo 305 x 244

SO, as you can see, the mobo is a tad larger than the case allows. BUt seeing that the amount is very minimal, does anyone think it could work? I thought my search for a case was over and i was going to head out tomorrow to pick it up but this may change things.

 
The fit will be flush. Eesh, the mobo is only 0.2mm wider and 0.2mm longer than the case allows, and 1.00mm is pretty damn small... you'll be fine!
 
Motherboards are more or less a standard size nowadays - Antec would just be saying their case is designed for that standard sized mobo. It'll fit fine.
 
Any ATX mobo about 12x10" with standard mounting points should fit. Most mid-tower cases have a fair amount of extra room around the mobo, particularly the depth. Many cases that say only 12x10 can actually handle up to 12x12 or so if the RAM, IDE, etc. sockets are in the right place. You will just have to rig your own supports for the part that dangles beyond the mount points.
