Step 3Placeing the motherboard and adding risers
Once the I/O plate was cut out, I was able to set the motherboard in place.
I then pulled the end out of a sharpie so that I had a small enough marker to mark down through the screw holes on the motherboard.
Next, I pulled out the motherboard, used a pilot tap to start off, then drilled the holes. I used a drill bit that was as close as i could get to the risers without being too large.
The Dremel was needed again here to cut slots in the plastic where the new risers would go in. This is needed because the release mechanism for the side door on the case depends on the pictured plastic sheet to be able to slide freely.
Finally, I used some epoxy on the back side of the riser screws to make sure they would not come out of the holes.
