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.
I understand what you're saying....and you're right, absolutely....but the screenshot is meant to show the WAY it bends, not the magnitude....since the maximal displacement is 0.03mm from horizontal plane the Plexi is definitely NOT going to come into contact with the bolt.

And...please remind me not to purchase an ASUS motherboard....
