Replacing motherboard (advice needed)

[dirtymailman]

New case comes with standoffs. We'll see how it works when I get it to the house. Kinda anxious to get this system running cause I want to try overclocking the processor.

Make sure the standoffs match the mounting holes in the motherboard and remove any standoffs that are not used under the motherboard. Standoffs outside around the motherboard can be left as is

The case is configured for ATX boards but has holes that look as if you can just take the standoffs out and reconfigure it for mini-ATX. Won't know till I get home.

Yeah don't worry, just reconfigure the standoffs to match the Mini-ATX board. Please remember to only install standoffs that match the holes in the motherboard. There may be one standoff that has no screw hole, just a pin that will act as a locator, to position the board. This standoff can be used or not

Runs great! Got the processor speed up to 2.71. Not bad for a 5 year old cpu. Thank you all for your help. It's much appreciated.
