    Asus Board, Athena 4U Rack 4088 PCI Issue

    Here's what i got.

    Asus P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel x58 ATX MOBO

    Athena Power RM-4U4088B52 4U Rackmount Server case.

    The Manufacturer states that an ATX form factor board is supported. In fact my mother board fits in the case, and mounts snugly. The motherboard is a 12 x 9.6 mobo.

     Here is the problem. After installing the board i realized the PCI slots do not match the PCI slot openings on the case. I am guessing the case is not compatible with the mobo. Am i Wrong? Help me out.

    Try some of the offset motherboard mounting holes for the case, or try using standoffs.

    RAWR!

    Not that simple. The Peripherals on the rear line up perfectly. Its the pci slots that are off.
