About the modification for the ASUS board...there is really a big difference between "standard" ABIT and that ASUS of yours...

I mean the mounting bolt going through that hole where the peice is bending. If it starts to bend it will hit the bolt on the inside of the hole and keep it from bending. You can't bend a peice of plastic with a steel shaft going through it to easy. Unless of course the holes are way wider than they need be. Non the less it doesn't matter. 3/8" plexy is plenty strong.
I am not sure why ASUS strayed from the standard, but all their newer boards seem to be like this. I got a dead ASUS A7V333 and it is the same as the ASUS A7V8X-X.
