Yeah, that is REALLY misleading

It's great isn't it! I hope mine actually looks that small, lol

That isn't my case, I don't have it just yet, I'll post some up when I get it though

There's a micro-atx model board in the case seen in the photo there. If the 900 has been revised since last July hopefully they increased the depth a little since that gap will be closed right up behind the 5 1/4" drive bays with a full size atx board. Tight space when going to use round ide cables for two ide drives here(one optical).

Dave, it isn't a micro ATX board, it's the motherboard as mine, it's full size, it's just a little thinner...

Hopefully with the holes and small MOBO, I'll have a super clean build!

Looks more like an AT style being thinner since the Asus model board reaches the next row of fastener holes! You won't be as cramped using any round ide cables there however.
